Cons

- Recogntion programs can become political - Subpar facilities and capital improvement efforts - Extremely high turnover rates (as in most of the meat industry) - Long hours and weekend work... get ready to earn your salary and then some

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
