Pros

-Good Benefits -Plenty of Hours -Free meals when working. Discount when off the clock. -Great Co-Workers -A lot of learning

Cons

-If you don't enjoy constantly moving being on your feet or doing back breaking labor this job isn't for you. -Very strict on the rules will get reprimanded and corrected on a daily basis while working as there is a lot to learn. -Pay is good but, for as much work as you do it could be better.
