Pros

Health benefits and retirement plan. People doing the actual labor are hard workers.

Cons

Bad hours. No consistent schedule - days, nights, swing, nights, swing, days, swing, nights, days. Work you 13 days straight and they get to pick your day off. It is not possible to have a work/life balance. Was promised numerous pay raises - took 8 months before it finally happened. Direct management kept making excuses and passing the buck. Entire crew has found new employment for a reason.

Pros

Very interesting work, market competitive for a non-union shop

Cons

No training structure, learn by doing, which depends on who you work with. Lack of drive from coworkers to finish projects. Definitely going through a transition period, but new shop manager has better vision for future.
