Pros

Great pay, company match up to $500 to charities. Get to meet Astros baseball players

Cons

Limited or NO mobility. If you're not down with Chavez and socialism or weren't born in Venezuela, your opportunities for advancement are ZERO to NONE. Especially if you're educated and bilingual, senior management is scared and threatened by anyone who "might" be remotely more intelligent than they are.

Pros

The pay and health insurance benefits are pretty great.

Cons

12 hour shifts on a swing schedule. Company likes to blame hourly workers for every issue when company doesn't want to put money into their facility. Most managers aren't competent, the more idiotic a person, the more likely they are to become a manager. Good managers exist but tend to move up quickly (they deserve to) and they're replaced by the idiotic "yes" men. Overtime is abundant so expect not to get your days off.
