Pros
Good place to learn the basics of cnc machine operation if you're lucky enough to survive the policies and procedures of daily plant operations. At first it seems like a good, but tough environment, where you have a sense of camaraderie with the other operators who are also learning to survive. Shortly, though it becomes painfully clear that no matter how hard you work, your immediate superiors still cling to the antiquated, but effective practice of making themselves shine brighter by making your light dimmer. And yes, this is all intended to be in the "positive section". I have learned a lot about the manufacturing industry, which was a brand new field for me. and I am better for it. However, this portion of my education came at a great price.
Cons
They treat people like they are disposable.
