Pros

Some of the people are great to work with. The actual work is easy.

Cons

Had to work lots of hours to make decent money. Max out on pay after 5 years. REALLY have to suck up to bosses to move up. FORCED overtime all the time! You work 12 hours and get two 15 minutes breaks and a 30 minute lunch, same as the 8 hour office employees. Management plays favorites/job security is iffy (this is where the chapstick comes in). Lots of changes all the time and sometimes managment do not seem to know what they are doing.
