Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, can get diverse experience working in the many different areas.

Cons

Laid off so many people that employees only have time to "put out fires" instead of completing preventive maintenance and improving plant operations. If you are not a chosen individual there is no room for advancement even if you receive good performance reviews every year by your direct bosses.
