Pros

pay. can move up in the company quicker then most companies.

Cons

60-70 hours per week. on call 24 hours a day 6 days a week. 1 manager per unit with 18-25 employees and no real help from upper mangement. All upper management does is point out all your mistakes without support. Days off are a joke. You get phone calls from work every day... thats if you dont get screwed out of your days off.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
