Pros

Insurance 3 ten day vacations Decent Training Program

Cons

Work Life Balance is horrible. No holidays off. Only one day off during holiday weeks which is inexplicably tough. Promises a lot, delivers little and there is caveats attached that is not told during recruitment.

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.
