Pros

The people are mostly pretty pleasant, free coffee, snacks...

Cons

I suspect the reason everyone is so nice is because we're all dying of loneliness, especially swing shift. This is pretty much the most isolating job in existence. It's also incredibly physically damaging to your hands, ears, and back. You will be in braces within the first 6 months, and most of the long-timers have significant hearing loss. And while your coworkers are nice people, management is awful and demanding. The pay is terrible, considering both the physical strain and the specialist knowledge that is required to do this job.
