Pros

Clean, they give you snacks.

Cons

In the 6 months I have worked here, I have worked enough hours to have worked a full year. In my orientation, they stressed how they have a strong belief in their employees having a work/life balance, but since then I have rarely worked a week below 60 hours, and I have worked several 84-hour weeks, all mandatory. At the beginning, they would have me here Monday-Saturday, but in the last 3 months, it has turned into Monday-Sunday, and I have only gotten a day off after working 13 days straight. If I have to leave early or take a day off for anything, including medical care, I have to use my paid time off. I have to use as many hours as they decide what my shift would have been that day. It is always at least 10. If you only like to get a day off when state law mandates you have to have one, then this may be the place for you. I understand that this is not the experience for everyone in the company, but this has been the experience of most of the people in my area of the plant.
