You need a really thick skin and a lobatomy to work here. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN

Pros

Not many - good benefits. Good job stability (if you can put up with the BS). The worker bees are good people.

Cons

Executive team is so out of touch. Only way to improve is to CLEAN HOUSE. Get rid of the "values" banners - they are a joke. HOLD EVRYONE accountable - this means the e-team too!.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Pay for the Industry, Great Company Support Structure & Professional Development Opportunities, Pension, Great job for someone looking for longterm, stable career

Cons

Sometimes poor communication between main office & plants. While the job is stable it isn't always the most challenging or exciting which was a con for me but can be a pro for many.

Pros

Pension plan. Some amazingly capable employees seem to keep the place effectively running despite itself. Some positions, often in the clerical arena, are very well paid compared to market.

Cons

Pay for performance is much more about the manager than your actual job performance. Mediocre management (upper and middle) and each division runs differently, so little consistency. As I've found working in government my whole career, you tend to get really good employees or really bad employees, with not much in the middle.
