Pros

It was good because I didn't have any experience in the industry and they paid for me to get a CDL. I was paid 12 an hour for 40 hours a week in a 5 week class. Nice. Then the pay went to 12.90 once I had my CDL. On sites you can get bonuses if it is done without any safety violations and everything is perfect. Got paid for a almost 3 hour bus ride to work which is crazy. Then 3 hours back. For some it is a pro working 100 hours a week.

Cons

A lot of the people are total jerks and not very well educated. A lot of male rape jokes. They would NEVER know what the work schedule would be so its impossible to have a consistent home life. Sometimes supervisors want you to do illegal things with the log book. If you don't they won't forget.

Pros

The money is good. Period.

Cons

Excessively long hours. Low hourly wage but with over 100 hours per week, it adds up. As part of the new hire training, the camp manager comes in to tell you that you're all replaceable. No value placed on the people on the ground floor doing the work at all. No appreciation shown for being away from your families 18+ hours per day. No sense of security working there, people get fired for incidents that could be handled in other ways. When you start getting any seniority this is especially true. They don't like to have people that have over 10 years there.

Pros

Big company, multinational, lots of different subsidiaries - room to move up or move around

Cons

ethical wasteland - managers willing to sacrifice anything to get ahead witnessed illegal activities - retaliation when questioned short-term focus - three years is a long assignment - no long-term growth in vision sales is considered a 'profit center' but r&d technologists a major expense....
