      Pros

      Company is very paternalistic and really tries to take care of the employees. Salaries are among the highest for the industry, which has its positives and negatives.

      Cons

      Very political atmosphere. Found I had to play along with office politics, while ignoring the nepotism and cronyism to get along. Far too much favoritism. HR had way too much power and too frequently interjected in my department's issues when not needed. Brussels dictated most decisions,eg., we needed major equipment overhaul; however, we could not get this approved. Somehow the plant is working, but it is scary.

      Pros

      I have no pros that I can think of

      Cons

      I was actually let go in 2019. It would not let me scroll in the drop down for the year. I was let go after returning from short term disability. The only time I ever was on short term disability in 11 years. My lawyer told me I could sue and would more than likely win. I chose not to.
