Pros

I enjoyed how flexible they were with school and their pay raises every 6 months.

Cons

The management is unstable, they don't interview nobody! They hire anyone who gets their call.

Pros

Great pay for entry level positions. Benefits starting day 1. All the jobs in the facility are easy to learn. Plenty of discounts and extra benefits outside of the health and standard benefits such as yearly kentucky kingdom trips for the company picnic. Lots of room for advancement though I wouldn't recommend it with the 50-80 hours a week year round that management works on salary. It's a great stepping stone to switch fields though since you can get a lot of bottom level position in various areas and get experience.

Cons

Management is jumbled around so much that most have no idea what's going on in their department, and there's not much point in learning it when in a year they'll be moved somewhere else again. Time off task is massively harped on. Might make 200% productivity but you'll be written up for going to get a water bottle from the breakroom or taking too many bathroom breaks.

Pros

Competitive pay, stock options, 4-day full-time work week, decent benefits, voluntary overtime is usually available

Cons

Revolving management, employees are seen as numbers, interpretation of rules are up to individual managers' discretion, salary cap, limited options for promotion, managers are usually newly hired in (promoting up into management is difficult; this also makes them largely unfamiliar with the job), employees are terribly under-utilized, much of the year you're on mandatory overtime, parts of the year are super slow
