Pros

it's a job. it could be worse ,but I fail to see how at this point in time.

Cons

No raise in 9 years, Insurance keeps getting more expensive, Safety first unless it costs too much, supervisors not being able to make a decision without going to upper management, HR runs the plant not the plant manager, if your hurt at work they deny all claims, make you run all over to fight it and hope you just pay out of pocket, management is retaliatory in its application of plant rules depending on if your buddies with salary employees. If you like to be stressed out and treated like a dog this is the place for you. Honesty, integrity, Tenneco core values? What a joke that is.

Pros

I had my own project, which was really cool. I learned a lot of initiation setting up meetings, and I even implemented training sessions for operators. They gave me a lot of help, which I really needed because I was rather inexperienced.

Cons

I was thrown into the project head first and received very little direction as far as the scope of the project was concerned. I had to ask a lot of questions to get all of the information I needed. It was hard at times, but a great growing experience for me.
