Great 401k contributions, but work rotating shifts

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and enhanced 401k contributions. Matches 100% on first 4%, 50% on next 2%. Gives an additional 4% regardless of contribution. So, basically you get 9% if you contribute at least 6% of your pay.

Cons

12 hour rotating shifts are a con for some people. Personally, I don’t really mind too much.
