Pros

Great pay for entry level positions. Benefits starting day 1. All the jobs in the facility are easy to learn. Plenty of discounts and extra benefits outside of the health and standard benefits such as yearly kentucky kingdom trips for the company picnic. Lots of room for advancement though I wouldn't recommend it with the 50-80 hours a week year round that management works on salary. It's a great stepping stone to switch fields though since you can get a lot of bottom level position in various areas and get experience.

Cons

Management is jumbled around so much that most have no idea what's going on in their department, and there's not much point in learning it when in a year they'll be moved somewhere else again. Time off task is massively harped on. Might make 200% productivity but you'll be written up for going to get a water bottle from the breakroom or taking too many bathroom breaks.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
