Pros

Pay - The pay is decent. I made $21 per hour. I liked my hours - I worked the night shift. However, I'm hearing now that almost all manufacturing positions are flexed shifts so they can basically schedule you anytime they want. Multiple certifications - you will collect useful certifications (i.e. bloodborne pathogens) to help you get hired for a more advanced career.

Cons

No opportunities for career advancement. No independence at all - I had to constantly check in with my supervisor for things that I was trained to handle and could troubleshoot independently, However, my management team wanted everything to be reported to them so they could step in and do something. I felt like I was in back in high school.

My experience working with the Red Cross has been great. The work is fulfilling and the people are passionate. Benefits are good - Kaiser is $6 a month!

Cons

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.

Pros

I liked working four 10 hour days

Cons

I worked with a very rude colleague that was taking edibles during work hours. I told my boss and nothing was done about it.
