Vantaggi
If you are willing to work hard it is fairly easy to get hired there. Also, if you speak little or no english, they will probably hire you since speaking english is not a requirement to work there. Safety issues are generally dealt with. The pay is decent but it tends to be on the low scale of the manufacturing industry.
Svantaggi
There are no incentives/ bonuses for employees for meeting or exceeding production goals. If business is slow management will wait for you to come in for your shift and then send you home rather then call you up before hand. Pay raises are miniscule at best, a 30-35 cent raise tends to be the average. For the last few years the number of people on a shift has decreased so shifts run on the bare minimum number of people. When i started working there, machine operators ran 2 or 3 machines, now they generally have to run 4. Due to layoffs, down sizing people are expected to work harder for no significant increase in pay. While I like the people I work with, overall it is not a good work enviroment.
