Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Nice canteen lunch area. Nice retirement plan.

Cons

-12 hour shifts. -No breaks if no one can cover you, and if you're an operator it's even harder -Have to try to find someone to cover you every single day just to take lunch, which gets old. Couldn't do this for 20 years. -Mandatory long sleeve uniforms - Ambiguous leadership. Rarely get a solid answer to anything - high turnover and understaffed leading to burnout of the people who do show up - Good work ethic/initiative is often milked and goes largely unrewarded - Half your coworkers are trying to do as little as they can get away with
