Pros

Paid weekly. Holiday pay (after completion of probation - 45 work days). Free banking/direct deposit enrollment offered. Medical/dental at reasonable price.

Cons

6 day work weeks. Majority of non-English speaking workers. Medical/dental not immediately available. Medical/dental taken away of not working 40+ hours/week. Commute is less than desirable. Employee parking is a joke & major safety concern (A railroad crossing is at the entrance/exit of the facility).

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
