Pros

Good healthcare benefits. Good vacation pay. Culture is great in theory.

Cons

Culture isn't followed through on. Minimum wage for the industry average. Don't miss more than 40 scheduled hours no matter the reason! You will be penalized and you will not be able to advance in your career for 6m-1y. Little to no support for training. Favoritism, lots of it. Cult like atmosphere and love for the brand. Feels like joining a pyramid scheme. Vague answers to questions, no straight answers. Vague feedback on performance. Leaders are taught to lie to level 1 employees. (See above) Promotions and they way you are treated is totally luck of the draw with what is needed at the time you are hired. If a line is opening soon and you are hired as a tech, don't plan on moving up even if something is open. If you have manufacturing experience, again, don't expect to advance past running a line.

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
