Pros

The job is easy and the pay was above minimum wage.

Cons

The place is very unsafe. The owner constantly belittles you and threatens to cut your pay or fire you. One guy was under threat of being fired and the boss made a deal with him to work a day for free or be fired (which is very illegal). He refuses to give breaks. You cannot clock in early or late so you have to clock in the second your shift starts. He will not order enough of the materials for you to complete the task, then gets mad and threatens to dock your pay because it isn't done on time. The boss throws tantrums constantly. I've heard from other employees that he broke a radio by smashing it on the ground because it was too loud.

Pros

If you like repetitive tasks, building, creating, or making things with your hands you might like it. Very small company with repeat customers. Hires college students from creative fields.

Cons

Laborious work. Requires standing on your feet most of the day. The building is so small that the boss will sneak up on you and watch you work then tell you to pick up the pace. Not a relaxing working atmosphere at all. False promises for promotions were made within the first week. Not exactly professional... I lasted 4 months there and good ridance.
