      Pros

      Long history Support for development Decent benefits Competitive salary Opportunity to work in multiple areas of the company. The management team I worked with most directly was great.

      Cons

      Difficult to make changes and implement new processes. A little resistant to change. Doesn't always make the best use of new technologies Some processes are so rigid that is difficult to get things accomplished. Frustrating if you thrive on delivering results.

      Good place to work. Work environment is typical of any large conglomerate/Fortune 100.

      Pros

      - Compensation is good for management level employees though a large chunk of pay is division performance based. - Working at a factory will get you promoted and recognized quicker than working in corporate HQ. - Great health, dental, and vision benefits. Good 401k. Stock purchase at discount. - Performance feedback good (depends highly on your specific manager).

      Cons

      - Middle management tends to be smarter than senior management. Senior management known to make short-sided and poor decisions frequently. - Older management team does not understand how to manage younger employees. This should change as older employees start to retire. - Pay for junior employees not on par with pay for junior employees at comparable companies. Management and senior level employees get paid on par with peers at other comparable companies.
