Pros

Fast Paced... Every Changing, Constant battles or problems to solve...Fun if you like food and the people who "do' food...

Cons

Favortisim stands out here... Who you know...not what you know... Pushy DSM's thinking that problems don't exist like they really do... WE BE HIGHER in price...but we are supposed to be better consultants then the rest of the pack... This is a true statement, lots of on going education, but the ECON has changed the minds of many operators to follow the mind set of saving money vs creating a more profitable business... We make money off commissions...Commissions come from building value... Competition is killing the pricing market to say the least... Industry is changing and our customers need to react to the change...

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
