Pros

Not a bad place to work if you are an uneducated hillbilly. If your only other previous adult work experience is working at a fast food restaurant you have a very good chance of moving to Nashville and running the IT department.

Cons

The entire organization is run by uneducated hillbillies who lack both a fundamental understanding of how to lead a team as well as what their team is supposed to be doing in the first place. It seems like the dumber you are the more arrogant you act. I'm not sure if it's to compensate for the lack of intelligence or to compensate for another certain shortcoming. In either case, this has been the most absurd place I have ever worked.

Pros

Good pay for the location. Established business in the area (over 50 years running), probably not going anywhere for a while. As long as you show up, do your work, and don't violate safety rules, you have job security. Rotating schedule allows for a lot of time off (unless you're drafted).

Cons

The environment can be very uncomfortable in some areas due to lack of climate controls. Constant back and forth between "the way it's always been done" and "let's try something new." Rotating schedule can be harsh. Sometimes it's hard to know who is in charge of something, as people get moved around a lot. Draft can eat into your time off, especially if your area is shorthanded. Communication from corporate seems to hit a wall before it reaches the technicians and operators; changes planned for years will seem abrupt to the people on the floor.
