Pros

Good base pay, with stock if you stay for 10 years. Learn a lot, and get good at cooking.

Cons

90 hours+ a week, more during holidays. You will hate every single holiday or event in your area. Favoritism runs rampant, just hope and pray you are on the good side. They are losing the people first mentality and going to money focus only.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
