Pros

Coworkers are a mixed bag. I got lucky with some very intelligent and hardworking people working on my line. Great benefits, great wages, lots of overtime opportunities. Good place to make a lot of money quickly, or to stay and make a modest but comfortable middle-class career. You will never run out of shampoo with all the care packages they'll send you.

Cons

Avoid the cafeteria. Coworkers are very catty and their general negativity towards their job, management, and each other is a little overwhelming. A lot of them are very vindictive, and every line/shift complains about the others non-stop. Keep your head down and watch what you say and who you say it to. There's as much drama as we had in High School. It's a training ground for management, so it'll be hit and miss depending on your line. Mine wasn't very good, though our department manager was top notch and very intelligent. You're either swing shift 1st and 2nd or straight night shift, so expect poor sleep habits, and social isolation. Lots of required overtime, 10s and 12s are common for weeks and weeks. Also, expect to work weekends on short notice.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
