Pros

Competitive pay and insanely good benefits when I was there.

Great food was always being served for lunch (cafeteria & food trucks).

You get to learn, have a chance to put your hands on more things, and it's easy to advance if you actually try and aren't brain dead.

Cons

Management. Had a manager that could care less about employee health or safety. There was a huge language barrier, and all of our meetings were a complete waste of time, since the next guy down had to go and look over everything and then give us a rundown we could all actually understand.

So much more could have been accomplished if we just hired people who were closer to our work culture and didn't treat people like just a number.

Advice to Management

Better managers. I didn't want to leave the company, but I also wasn't going to work for a POS who lost his entire team within 4 months of the positions opening.
