Pros

The company has good benefits and offers plenty of flexible work arrangements. Wok/Life balance is a priority in most areas of the company. Provides many opportunities for collaboration amongst teams and across functions. Many opportunities to explore different career paths without having to start over in a new company. Good tuition reimbursement program and other benefits.

Cons

The "promote from within" concept only goes so far. If you are hired in as "non-management" plan to stay there as promotions out of "non management" and into "management" are few and far between. Promotion to management typically involves being open to relocating to very little pay increase. Pursuing additional education or certifications outside the company will not help with advancement. Company has many over qualified A&T's (non-management) with MBA's that want to get promoted and the company does not provide an open and encouraging path to make that happen that does not require moving. The pay scale bands leave many employees capping out after 7-10 years with very few opportunities to see continued salary increases.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
