Pros

Benefits good, high quality employees, people that care about doing a good job. Corporate culture is positive and some very good production environments exist in other geographic areas so it can be done.

Cons

expect to give up either sleep or a family life. Unreasonable hours due to poor workforce mgmt - exempt lower level work excessive hours week after week without appreciation, compensation, or comp time. Time off is taken away with no notice or care People are so burnt out that it is impacting plant safety. Harassment is swept under the rug. Management refuses to address the issues because they themselves aren't impacted.

Pros

The salary was good, and the people in the department I worked in were friendly

Cons

Politics at the company were tricky to navigate. Success was more about who liked you rather than merit. Bad behavior would go unaddressed if the person was liked
