Pros

Good pay especially for people who have little to no experience. Plenty of break time to help make the 12 hours go faster. Benefits are good. Overtime is not mandatory, but is available most of the time.

Cons

Management is not so good. Always understaffed forcing most employees to work twice as hard. They think pizza parties and food will make everything better.

Pros

Good pay. Interesting work. Mostly nice people.

Cons

Management is not open with employees. They make changes without employee input, and keep it a secret until the change is already made.
