Pros

Decent pay and benefits. The benefits used to be better, but times have changed.

Cons

Hard core good 'ol boy network in effect. If you don't know someone and aren't part of the "click" then your chances for advancement are pretty much nil. Senior Management also seems to have a perpetual issue of promoting those people that are completely unqualified for the next level position.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
