Pros

You have the ability to think outside of the box to provide solutions. A large organization, so you get to work with all levels within the company. They pay their employees fairly.

Cons

Senior Management does not communicate well with the organization. A large amount of the promotions are given to people that are not qualified. There is zero diversity, it is a good old boy club. No one takes ownership and therefore there is a lack of accountability.

Pros

Job. Set hours. Better than unemployment (not by much) good co-workers, hey I guess misery does love company! Twenty word minimum here, can't think of that many "Pros" for Oldcastle Surfaces.

Cons

3 year across the board wage freeze while shedding employees and consolidating responsabilities. 2011 pay reduction of 3%. No performance reviews of ANY kind so no feedback on how you are progressing doing the tasks of 3 people. Poor communication from management. Workforce whittled down from approx 120 employees to 21 while trying to keep production flowing, increases in manufacturing "errors" extended lead times for customers. General vibe that the place will be shut down at any moment, and no indication from managment to the contrary. Company is part of CRH, a multinational based in Ireland, so they can pay the lowest corporate tax in the world, and contribute to Irelands fiscal problems.
