Pros

The people who are there and not senior management level are great to work with and overall nice people. Large public company that comes with great experience.

Cons

Senior management does not care about employees, and that is made clear in how every situation is handled, including the recent lay offs. Not family oriented, no flexibility. Must work 8-5 and absolutely no working from home. Very old-school mentality due to Japanese influence that is very resistant to change. Aging workforce due to pension plan and inability to attract and keep top talent. Compensation is below average, and promotions are few and far between. Not a lively or happy work environment. No women in leadership positions that I can recall. Very behind in comparison to other companies in respect to culture, environment, and benefits.

Pros

Paychecks come on time, they have a decent rep in the ceramic packaging world. I worked with some wonderful people.

Cons

This is not a sales job, your are managing accounts with no incentive. QA issues non stop, legal issues, payment, anything and everything comes back on "sales". Every day was a new fire that always felt like preparing for a deposition where each employee starts pointing fingers at one another. Horrible moral. Depends heavily on your direct management. I'll just say that I had emailed some of the issues i was having to my manager (something I've never had to do my entire career) and nothing changed, except that they had logged into my email and deleted it so there was no record. It was not a good situation.
