Pros

Work at the same location every day. Checks always cash. Most of the guys you work with are great people.

Cons

It doesn’t pay well. You pay 100% of your retirement out of your check and if you don’t vest you lose roughly half of the money you have personally paid in. Management believes that having more than 50% of their employees on some sort of discipline at any given time will increase productivity. There is very low moral here. The employer would rather give bonuses to new hires than pay their employees more to stick around. Managers treat their employees very disrespectfully with no repercussions. Sick days don’t exist. The employer has an absent policy that is not clearly laid out so they can bring you up on discipline at their discretion. Company has low morals and enjoys creating a hostile work environment.
