Pros

Pay and benefits in top 3rd vs industry, flexible work arrangements for most and lots of different opportunities for interesting careers but primarily only if you are brought in as management.

Cons

Part of their pitch was need for my skills and background and thier strong culture of promote from within, convincing me that leaving my career behind was a great step forward. What they didn't share was that it only applies to campus mgmt hires and a small number of external higher level managers. The have an elusive promote to management process that ebbs like the tides but even if your top rated (I am) you cannot even look at the roles as you won't meet the role requirement (already mgmt). They consistently claim regardless of function that the process is in state of overhaul yet you see promotions being made only where it increases a managers score card metrics. Truly disappointing and indicative of their focus on image over substance. If your experienced and just want a job come on down, if your looking for a challenging career and not already an intern perhaps check out GE, Amazon or another CPG company.

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
