Pros
Job Security (If permanent associate) Very good and cheap Health Benifits Pays overtime and have the oppurtunity to work it. 401k and Pension Plan. 1 weeks off for Shutdown during July 4th and Christmas Holidays plus normal Vacation time.
Cons
Communication Between departments is not very good Things can get bogged down in planning and never get accomplished Pay is really low for starting employees and pay increases very slow. You can not start a career and end one here based on Pay. Better to come to once you have experience. You have to Clock in and Out every day. Schedule is very rigid. Lot of pressure on instant solutions rather than doing things correctly. Once you are at office you are there till the day is over. Not much chance for advancment.
