Pros

They treat like an employee within the intern/ co-op roles. I was not an engineer, so I got a different structure compared to them. They gave me meaningful projects and even when I messed up they didn't baby me, but they weren't overly hard on my mistakes either. They understood that I was a student so they were always understanding if I had a school priority. My manager helped me find another internship within the company when mine was coming to an end. They pay very well for the role I was in, much more then some of my other friends in different internships. The culture works well for hiring, and interviewing. They offer lots of training for corporate positions.

Cons

MBM can be a lot to take in. Given the company there were actual politics brought up in the workplace a decent amount (which made me uncomfortable, and I thought wasn't that professional.) If you want to move up in a certain role you may have to move to some less desirable locations, but you do get a fair say. If you agree with the company in the culture and the political views you will love it, but if you don't you can feel out of place. Individual pay increases may seem unfair to some.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
