Pros

Lots of rewarding work and good work life balance under the right manager(s) and in the right group. Ethically-minded. Competitive pay. Many extra benefits for healthy living. Stock price is way up. Some experienced co-workers saying this is the least screwed up big company they've worked for.

Cons

The company can't stay out of its own way at times. As the company grows, constant normalization of processes/tools to corporate standards after productive years using other processes/tools, no support, switchover left to the groups to figure out, hindering group objectives. IT dept is overbearing, processes move slowly, equipment selection is poor. Multi year projects are annually exposed to the whims of higher level managers for funding, risking years of development. Slightly lacking in employee recognition, and seem to reward for odd achievements, not the important ones. Current regime of executive management loves acquisitions, mergers and spinoffs lately so beware of the risks these bring.

Pros

stable, easy going, day to day is very predictable. Honestly a good place to stay long term. EHS Manger salary ranges can be very respectable at certain levels (130k-180k ranges).

Cons

No extra comp at lower levels.
