Cons

A couple of the cons Highly unrealistic amount and level of work for pay. Chemical Burns and very dry skin. Poor Conditions and ruined clothes. Smelling bad and being wet for a lot of the day. Carrying and lifting thousands of pounds of meat. Working Full time with no flexibility even as part time. may only receive like a .50 cent raise a year. The company will do everything to keep you from progressing and moving elsewhere and trapped in this job position if you're in it. You can face a lot of toxicity and fake people being in this position regularly. There are many tasks that you're required to do and a lot of different work that should be separate paid jobs all together.
