Pros

Good company stability some good benefits for employees. Starting pay for entry-level employees great. Good work schedule 4 days on 4 days off. Job security as long as you do the bare minimum of your job duties. No experience required for some positions just take some tests and pass.

Cons

Extreme conditions as far as climate if its hot its hotter inside if its cold its cold inside. Working with some managers and supervisors that really don't know what they're doing. If you come up with any ideas they are overlooked while you're there, then all of a sudden they come up with that idea later. When asking for raises it's like pulling teeth, then if your manager puts you up for a raise you still might not get it because it goes all the way to the top management who never really sees your work and gets denied. If you fit there idea of a manager you will definitely move up unfortunately not everybody is Caucasian.

Pros

Written from a corporate engineer's perspective; your department will determine your experience: You won't work too hard, and taking breaks to converse with coworkers is not frowned upon. Free coffee, fresh (but slightly burned) at any time of day. Depending on your job, you will be exposed to most of the plant and lots of different machines and processes over time. You do not lose vacation time for sick days or appointments during business hours. Match 100% of 401(k) contributions up to 6% of salary. Health insurance is reasonably priced.

Cons

Management pyramid is very short, low mobility once you're in. Vacation allowance is 0 first year, 40 hours years 2 and 3, 80 thereafter until you get 120 after 15 years; you can negotiate to change this. The 401(k) does not come with any options and is in low-yielding investments, making it unsuitable for investors with more than 10 years left until retirement. Plant areas are not climate-controlled. Bonuses are not part of the culture, and there is no automatic prompting for raises.

Pros

Work Life balance was ok because of the 4 days on and 4 days off.

Cons

Management Sucks, No Opportunities, Sometimes you work 48 hours a week and the others are 36, No Overtime...
