      Pros

      World class in many things you want from HR to learning.

      Cons

      Job security went from world class to just like any other. Mid to low range of salaries. Leadership issues loosing control of company. MOre layoffs than ever. Loosing market share due to focus in cost cuts vs growth and innovation.

      Pros

      Pay, hard working employees in the plants, opportunity to work with a large company.

      Cons

      -Unwillingness to install automation to solve basic employee issues and to stay competitive with cheaper competitors. - Disconnect of some members of Leadership and the employees that keep the place running. - Could really be a really great place to work but unfortunately morale has tanked. - Top talent has left or is leaving to find sustainable opportunities.
