Pros

Great benefits and free health care Really good pay You will learn so much in such a short amount of time Promotions are every 2/3 years Employee ownership at year 5

Cons

You will not have a work life balance at all You will basically work 12+ hours a day and sometimes wont even have a weekend There were several times where I worked a 16+ hour shift If you ask to be transferred to a different site, they more than likely won't send you. You will be treated like you are a robot with no life and will be burnt out quick
