Pros

7-3 straight with overtime consistent pay -while the work is repetitive even for factory work they don't push you for nothing and almost everyone pitches in and gets the work done when and where it's needed. There is usually ample overtime though from time to time it's slow able to help with disabilities -I came in with an undiagnosed disability that I didn't realize would impair my ability in my chosen position until I got there, they were incredibly kind and allowed me a few more changed in positions until I was able to find one that fit.

Cons

inability to hold others accountable -occasionally people become comfortable in a role and refuse to change or if it benefits them will make the work harder/slower than it needs to be, management does little other than say an announcement and then shrug its shoulders.
