All about politics

Pros

Weekly pay, work parties, bonus checks. They will promote you to foreman without any knowledge or experience.

Cons

Nothing but politics. You have to know someone to actually get ahead. If you know someone that means you can stop being productive and still get good raises and good reviews. They pay very poorly but make up for it with a yearly bonus that isn’t really good until you’ve been there a while. Horribly toxic management. The only way you get ahead is by being a cheerleader and a yes man. The moment you think for yourself you get punished.
