Pros

Great people to work with, good career advancement, good vacation policy, fast paced and always doing something new and trying to improve.

Cons

Not a lot of coordination between plants, even plants in the same division. The company values marketing employees way more than technical employees, pays them on a different scale, and brings them in at a much higher level even though they have no real world skills.

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
