Pros
career oportunities seem relatively good if you spend a decent amount of time with the company; go getters are often rewarded with promotions when positions open up. Communication is fair. Certain issues are not communicated well, and there is a break down of issues on the plant floor occasionally due to failure to communicate. The comp & benefits the company offer are exactly what I would expect from any large-scale company. I wouldn't say they go above and beyond necessarily, but they also aren't particularly lacking. A relatively fair & respectable company.
Cons
Career opportunities within the company seem to have frozen for the moment, along with much of the US economy; Employee morale at my plant seems to be fairly low amongst hourly-paid employees and lower level management. This is likely due to often long hours, and unscheduled saturdays frequently deemed mandatory with very little notice, but the pay is adequate, and makes up for part of this. Recognition & feedback is often lacking, unless the plant is performing badly.
