Days are long, average 12+ hours 5-6 days per week but your salary is only for 40. Production is first, safety second on average, you have to be able to deal with 120+ personalities daily and interact with all aspects of the job. You will wear many hats. This job requires one to multitask and take on an entire program by themselves
