Pros

Pay is the most you will find for little to no education. Great benefits, a lot of vacation.

Cons

Long 12 hour rotating shifts....for life. If you think you can advance here you are horribly mistaken.

Pros

Great rotational Program to start professional career Very process driven Great affinity networks Great exposure to other leaders in the company throughout projects and trainings Great health benefits

Cons

-Cut throat environment at the manufacturing plant -Leadership is worried about how do they look in front of their bosses, and do not care about their employees -Leadership doesn't show interest on people's development, more about learn the hard way -Opportunities to transition to other plants are like a chess game, it has to be convenient for all parties involved and not so much for the person -Location of manufacturing plants is terrible -Too many young managers that aren't leaders, they are taught to be managers but don't know how to lead and motivate people -People are willing to sacrifice others to make themselves look good
