Pros

The people, the company and the benefits! Easy to get leads. Easy to sell product. Well known company. Job stability. Upper management is very driven and for the people. Been around since the late 1800's. Lots of history

Cons

I can't think of any so far. I need more time with company. Working in the plant is noisy sometimes but it's not a big deal. They need more plant security for sure.
