Pros

Easy Job as a Grill Operator. Co-workers can be fun and interesting.

Cons

No opportunities for advancement and low pay. The managers usually favor the thieves and the people who suck up to them. The hard working people get nothing.

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.
