If you're comfortable with the job you're hired at, life might be grand.

Pros

Flexible hours for the most part given you can get the correct approvals. Get to travel some of the mid-west here and there (but that would only apply to a few types of IT positions). I've had the chance to see many of the company's locations and they're all pretty decent atmospheres.

Cons

There's company provided training for soft skills, but getting sent for career related training seems to be a thing of the past which makes it tough to enhance your career and keep up with the times. It might be different for union members or working in the plants, but in the IT, promotions and raises appear to be few and far between.

Pros

Company offers flexible schedules, the opportunity to move around if you want to grow or change jobs, competitive pay, and decent benefits

Cons

management does not listen to employees nor do they ever give good reasons why they are making decisions, management lies & intentionally changes numbers to get their projects approved, no opportunities for any good training even though they tell you otherwise, continuous cut-backs, tools to do your job have been taken away and are no longer provided, work and long hours goes unnoticed &/or unappreciated.
