Pros

The people are nice, the pay is great, the benefits are great and cover a lot, multiple shifts to bid on.

Cons

Management either doesn't know what they're doing or they do and screw us over on purpose. Poor work/life balance. Overtime is mandatory and because they're constantly low on staff you get stuck working 5 12hr days plus an 8hr shift on the weekend. Can't leave the property on your break. There's also lots of favoritism towards the people on 1st shift.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
