Pros

Receive a generous amount of time off starting day one. Insurance benefits are ok and pay isn't terrible. Management seems to treat the low level employees well. I like that I always know what time I'm leaving and am never asked to come in for forced overtime.

Cons

12 hour shifts are long and the pay can feel like a slap in the face when you find out that they started people off at more 10 years ago. Promotions are based on who you are friends with so those who are slacking off but kissing butt get ahead while those who actually work are generally overlooked.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
