Pros

If you are a senior manager it could be good, they get fancy management retreats and education, but have to participate in addition to their full 40 hour workload.

Cons

Not at all focused on employees, CEO worships stock price plain and simple. Not that that's bad, but it is not balanced against any apparent concern for employees. Senior management is simply not interested in knowing employee feedback, they never asked me once not even an exit interview. I got worked like a dog to cover my own and an unstaffed position for over 6 months, yet somehow all I did was never enough for my manager, no praise was ever given. And that manager is still there and is considered "successful" despite incompetence with employees.

Pros

The job is local and it is a large company so benefits packages along with retirement and salaries are in line with where there should be in each respective field. Being a fortune 500 there is room for growth and many locations worldwide to work or transfer to if you so chose. They basically have a monopoly on glass container production so i wouldn't expect to see this company out of business any time soon.

Cons

Downsides with working for such a large company is the same as a lot of large corporate structure. Creativity gets lost in politics, not much individual recognition or reward. I see a lot of people in management that shouldn't be along with a lot of who's-your-daddy hiring practices. I don't see the company doing much for its own employees and there is no incentive to really work any harder especially when you receive no praise for it.

Pros

Most of the employees are easy to work with and are generally friendly.

Cons

The lack of accountability from the top down continues to create costly inefficiencies within the organization. The new CEO is trying to clean up the mess left by the previous CEO.
