Pros

Coworkers are like family and understand same stressful environment. 3 weeks vacation after 2 years Prior to 2009 could get Greenbelt or Blackbelt certified but not anymore Medical benefits above average or say they say

Cons

Senior management is a revolving door and is clueless to what is happening at site level. No strategic direction or vision of what line of business company or division are focusing on for market share. Constant layoffs and fearful environment who is the next on the list. No support for continuing education or development. Degrees and formal education are not valued at the company. Why bother going to school and the tuition reimbursement program is a joke. Don't say you have a program if it is never in the budget or only the "chosen ones" are allowed to go to big time schools. Sick to stomach going to work everyday with the stress and constant complaining. Not the place to work for a Generation X or Millennium generation. Management does not value young opinions or promote teamwork.
