      Solid company with potential

      Pros

      safe, steady work environment with decent benefits and mostly very intelligent people as coworkers. Interesting market segment that will be very interesting to be in over the next decade.

      Cons

      extremely slow to change, risk adverse and recently very hierarchical. Used to be far more 'family' oriented, now much more profit oriented. Not to say any business shouldn't be profit oriented, but not at the expense of health and well-being.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Must be willing to work shift work, rotating. Over time last year was about 30% of total income. No mandatory overtime. Great benefits, 401k, Union, and Defined pension.

      Cons

      SHIFTWORK! Rotating shifts can be rough but if you work at a plant with 12 hour shifts you only work 14 days out of the month. Schedule is set up to provide 7 days off in a row each month.
