Pros

Great people to work with in the production area. Decent pay and benefits. A lot of vacation time.

Cons

HUGE disconnect between administrative positions and production positions. Long hours (12.5 hour shifts) in our department you didn't always get the vacation you requested and due to being understaffed, there was always a need to pick up other shifts which meant even more hours. I rarely had a pay period (bi-weekly) that I didn't get over 100 hours. Not enough promotions or chances for movement outside of the department. If you work night shift and want to move to days, good luck. Very much a popularity contest.
