Pros

Good all around benefits, good work life balance, very stable job. People are very understanding about taking time off and you start off with 3 weeks vacation and 2 weeks unpaid, which is great.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, have to run your decisions by 100 people before you can get anything done. I work in a plant so it is discouraging sometimes to hear about all the perks that the corporate folks get.

Pros

You will work with high quality individuals. As an intern, you will be given value-added work and expected to achieve real results from the start.

Cons

The on-boarding process can become very time intensive. While it is great to meet all the plant leadership one-on-one, it can quickly become distracting.
