Pros

The site I work at is union so the pay is ok, the benefits are good, the work schedule is good (swing shift, 7a to 7p or 7p to 7a alternating every 2 weeks, 2 on 2 off 3 on 2 off 2on 3 off )

Cons

The management leaves much to be desired. Most of the management at my site have never worked the processes that they manage. This creates many problems, leads to many missed opportunities , and really keeps the site from being as successful as it could be.

Pros

Great environment to learn and develop for future roles at better opportunities.

Cons

No vertical advancement, terrible annual pay increases that do not keep up with inflation. Job scope stretched well beyond what was originally expected and pay increases did not keep up at all. My advice would be go into this job with a strategy to learn as much as you can and then exit for something better paying after 1-3 years.
