Pros

- The people on the floor are proud of what they do - Brand name that carries weight in the market - Trying to do the right thing

Cons

- 1970's style management - Some plants are older than dirt, and the equipment is just out of date/decrepit - Unionized, not in a good way - Micro-management - Internal regulatory compliance programs are well beyond the point of diminishing returns

DON'T DO IT (Bad Place)

Pros

Money, paid every week Thursday or Friday depending on bank

Cons

Too many deaths at the plant, management don't care bout how hard you work , you will still get fired, if management don't like you, this is what happened to me. I was lied on by management and was fired for no reason at all. The union will not help and make up excuses. If you plan on working there keep to yourself and DON'T JOIN THE UNION, why waste money on people who not going to help you when you need them?

Pros

Strong top leadership -- well thought out long term company vision and consistent build on execution by top leaders. Great pay scale, good benefits, on-site work out center, healthy cafeteria options and free parking garage. Wide range of opportunities for the highly motivated -- career opportunities limited only by individual willingness to work and respond positively to feedback. Overall on-boarding, training and other employee programs have vastly improved in the last decade and there are many changes currently underway as well.

Cons

Long and unpredictable hours in some departments -- work life balance not always well supported, very common to work during vacation or holidays - this varies among departments. Flexible scheduling and telecommuting are minimal and dependent on individual managers, overall very narrow model of what motivates employees. Still mostly command and control style of management that discourages full engagement.
