Pros

Flexible, if you need off in an emergency, you'll just go. Diversity, if you're a diversity candidate, you'll get great support and prefferential treatment. Stability, regardless of how stupid they are, they'll be there and be stable.

Cons

Arrogance and dissrespect from leadership at plant level (corporate folks are ok) unrealistic expectations - they ask for miracles, and don't respect what it took to make them happen uneven work distribution- if you're a "do-er" they'll ride you in the ground and claim credit for everything you do. if you're not a do-er, you'll be promoted easily but you have to be ready to do it by stepping on someone.

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