Unlimited overtime potential, good base pay 3 tiers based on job difficulty that tops out potentially in 90 days if you learn and are competent in 2 jobs (around $28 an hr). Good benefits health, dental, vision, 401k company match, gainshare bonus.

Cons

Work life balance if you don't like forced overtime. Everyone starts on overnights. Management can be hit or miss.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
