Pros

Lotsa work. A seven day 12 hour per day work week. There is nothing else... So, if you work in manufacturing or production, go and chase that little money! Its so hot... Its HELL hot in the summer months!

Cons

No work life balance! Horrible medical plan. They offer you the standard vacation but based on an 8 hour day and a 40 hour work week, not the 12 hour per day monstrosity that they throw you in. Here in North Carolina. CSA DOES NOT care about its workers! Those rubber seals are a cash cow for the company to the automotive industry.

Pros

When I first started, it was an exciting and new experience.

Cons

Pay is very low, and the only way to really make money is to work as much overtime as you can. The more you work, the more they work you. The plant itself isn't well kept, and I left because I had reached my contact quota. My line was one of the lines that produced the most and was usually able to run continuously, unlike the other lines. However, this meant they worked us like dogs, and as time went on, the consideration of how much work was being put in, as well as the overall "you are replaceable" environment, caused me to walk out. When I brought up all my concerns to my supervisor, I was told that if I didn't like it, I could leave. So, I clocked out and walked out. Two days later, my line caught fire and was down for a couple of days. The same complaints I was making were still ignored. Thus, cause and effect.
