Pros

They have a company kitchen, overtime abundant, safety supplies are free. Job security due to low amount of employees staying there.

Cons

Managers are cool-aid drinkers that like the mold in the cup. HR nightmare. Bad language, lazy co-workers, backstabbing, no training, poor pay for hard dangerous work. Blistering hot in the summer and freezing in winter. Even with all the safety stuff you will still leave there with problems for your health in the future. Hard work and the office just pushes and pushes, no concern for capacity. Dirty jokes, inappropriate behavior and HR has been made aware many times. Nothing changes and if you challenge, you get fired.

Pros

The pay is pretty great. Your fellow employees are super diverse and it allows you to learn a lot about people of all cultures and walks of life.

Cons

You will be overworked and under valued. Depending on their relationship, leads and supervisors will absolutely talk about the employees in inappropriate ways. You will be treated with respect to your face unless you advocate for yourself. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there are cliques within leadership and generally they have very unfortunate views on people who were not born in the US regardless of their work ethic. If you excell at your job, you will be recognized and praised some days and scolded other days for not taking on the work of three different people. Some individuals don't actually care about the job and are just there for a paycheck. Safety is regarded as important in theory but not in reality. Quality is deemed as important, but in reality no one cares. Work-life balance is actually non-existent, no matter how much they claim otherwise.
