Pros

Great learning environment for college grads. Educational opportunities within company - can learn a lot if you want. Smart people to work with. The gym at corporate is convenient Learn great base skillset

Cons

Upward career movement slow Hard to move to different departments once you have established yourself in one Company has been bloated with middle management for quite some time. That is finally changing now with recent layoffs. Individual rating system is flawed. Everyone gets very similar scores. Not much differentiation. Benefit package is average, nothing to get excited about.

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