Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good work, plenty of mandatory overtime, company seems to be expanding, meetings seem useful, communication is very open up the chain of command, seems to be decent ability to win job bids.

Cons

Management isn't great, there is a lack , of good training, they can't seem to retain new hires (though this is a problem in most factories), several departments seem understaffed due to low cross training and departmental isolation, and other related issues, communications between shifts is sub-par, night shifts are chronically undertrained, line warehouseman are routinely on line because of inability to staff and train positions properly.
