Pros

Salary and benefits are pretty good. Start with 3 weeks of vacation, up to 4 after 5 yrs. Many opportunities in Manufacturing if you're flexible with locations, although some plants are in the middle of nowhere. Very nice corporate office, too bad is in Minneapolis. Great food manufacturing technology. Solid performance in the industry year after year.

Cons

Big pond with lots of big fish. Takes soo long to implement changes. Preach work life balance but in the manufacturing plants be ready to work 12 hr days almost every single day, even plan on working some weekends with no additional compensation, is pretty much an expectation that you do so. Great corporate jobs, if you are willing to live in the Tundra(Minneapolis)
