Pros
The only pros I can think of are the wonderfully supportive coworkers I was lucky enough to have on my shift and the opportunity to learn how to use and troubleshoot a wide variety of analytical instruments.
Cons
Swing shift is awful. Weekly rotation from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. You tell yourself "yeah, I can deal with it," but it consumes your life after awhile. The overtime pay is great, but because of constant call-offs and understaffing, you're slammed with overtime and held over often. Management could care less about the quality of your work - they only want results. I never once felt important working at ADM - I was a number-generating drone - and none of the science I learned in school was applied during my job.
