Pros

Stock options, ESPP & pension are great

Cons

US pay is based not off location, but off of Columbus, IN making pay in large cities not competitive at all... ~30% below market rate A few talented middle managers exist, but most are about furthering personal career above developing people. Those that prioritize longe term business & team development are left behind. A pay bump for internal job switching encourages folks to switch every 18months as opposed to true long term business development. Innovation is passed over for status quo. Red tape heavy Large corporate cuts are a normal part of life - usually every 2 years

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
