Pros

Work/Life balance and PTO, Co-Workers, above average benefits, Job enjoyment, working with the plants.

Cons

The bureaucracies of the procurement department feel unfair. There are some good leaders and there are some not okay leaders. Most of the leadership in the procurement group is fairly young, and some of the leaders they choose are not what I would consider stellar. People trying to implement worthless processes or just doing something because it might look good on a presentation slide. Looks good on a slide! But does not always work when trying to implement in real life. You usually get a yearly merit increase, but it is not enough to keep up with inflation. It is discouraging to see money spent wastefully by leaders.

Pros

HQ building is pretty cool and you can get some neat tours of company facilities. Work life balance is generally pretty good.

Cons

The company just has no idea what its doing regarding IT. Most management has been there 25+ years and still wants to operate like its the 90s. Head of IT is an accountant and the department is treated like a necessary evil and employees are told they provide no tangible value. Making any kind of impact is actively discourage and 'stay in your lane' is a core tenet. If you want to just show up, grind, and go home, this is the place for you.
