Pros

They really believe family is what comes first and you can tell by how they treat their employees. Wages are similar for doing the same work elsewhere. Decent benefits as well.

Cons

Seems like some people who should be promoted are not afforded the opportunity.

Pros

Paid Lunch. Thru-put bonus location goals are met. Clean facilities and protective equipment for eyes and ears provided. There is a percentage match on 401K. If you have children, there is an annual chance to have your children submit for a scholarship (believe it is $2500? $1000?, but any scholarship is a good scholarship). There is grade based tuition reimbursement up to $1500. There are events the company participates in and allows employees participate in at a reduced price or sometimes free, but the activities do not vary greatly and are mostly for the athletic/sport inclined Shooting, Marathon or Mudrun etc.

Cons

Raise occurred approx only every 3 years, they are much less than inflation so expect wage to be able to pay for less. Benefits have been consistently worse in coverage or cost. Overtime and Saturdays are not optional if company is operating. Employee perfect attendence bonus removed. Company expanding and making greater profits, never passed down to loyal employees. Employee loyalty is non-existent, employee satisfaction and appreciation is very low on the organization's concerns. There is high turnover both quitting and firing. Organization implements underwhelming acknowledgment for superior work and almost never rewards individuals but frequently has verbal and written reprimands. Work-life balance is possible on the first of the three (24 operation) shifts so make sure that the shift hours you accept employment for suit your need, there is little concern or flexibility outside of the minimal sick/vacation benefits.
