Pros

The job is local and it is a large company so benefits packages along with retirement and salaries are in line with where there should be in each respective field. Being a fortune 500 there is room for growth and many locations worldwide to work or transfer to if you so chose. They basically have a monopoly on glass container production so i wouldn't expect to see this company out of business any time soon.

Cons

Downsides with working for such a large company is the same as a lot of large corporate structure. Creativity gets lost in politics, not much individual recognition or reward. I see a lot of people in management that shouldn't be along with a lot of who's-your-daddy hiring practices. I don't see the company doing much for its own employees and there is no incentive to really work any harder especially when you receive no praise for it.
