Pros

Best company. Best methods and continuously improving them. Always striving to do the right thing and live out the stated values. Incentives are for the most part ligned up with desired behavior. Pay is fair at the beginning but gets progressively better as you stick with it. Benefits are really good. The company is sensitive to personal needs and will accomodate life / work balance that are reasonable. This company promotes from within which then creates a great expertise at the higher management levels. Other (most) companies hire from the outside at any level which then results in bosses that do not really have the skills to be a boss when compared to subordinates that have been around a while.

Cons

Some people might see it as a downside that you can't just sit and relax. You have to continously stretch yourself just to keep up. That in turn in personal and professional growth at a much faster speed than an average company. Also, my only build for the comnpany is that it needs to ensure being a good people manager is part of the skills needed for promotion beyond band 2. I've seen a few people making it beyond that that are well known for being "very" difficult. They in teun could/have created collateral damage by way of scaring away employees that could have been great for the company to keep around.

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
