Pros
- compressed week means long weekends to plan events or just relax - decent pay, especially if you don't mind working nights to get that shift differential - relatively easy work even though the actual manufacturing process is complicated, working and learning the tools is not very hard, especially after the first one - any overtime is completely optional. I've never been called on my day off except for things like hr needing paperwork for fmla, and was only asked a couple times if I wanted to stay late, but it was walked back very hard before I could even respond, and they were completely understanding when I said no. - relatively flexible break schedules - pretty decent amount of pto + pa + sick time for an entry level job
Cons
- when business is down, so is culture - when business is down, expect as many as 4 weeks off a quarter - when business is down, don't expect any raises or bonuses, including cost of living adjustments - they talk about how they never do layoffs, but then don't call it a layoff when they "adjust the headcount" of a newly acquired company - when business is down, they also still do "normal" layoffs - business is currently extremely down
