Pros

Pay and incentive are VERY good. Company is very focused on making certain that salaried corporate individuals always hit incentive targets, they have never missed. At the plants, the business places unrealistic and unattainable targets which are based on prior year performance.

Cons

Extremely political organization who is shortsighted in the plans for the future. It is an organization where you should not go against the grain, or you will be blacklisted. When negotiating your starting salary, make certain to get as much as you can. There is very little promotions from the inside. There is little to no work / life balance. Expectations for excellence in everything you do with tight timelines is unrealistic.

Pros

For the most part, I did not have to bring work home with me. Compensation was good. Benefits are on par with other corporations in the area, although they have been slowly eroding them.

Cons

Company still very siloed between the various business units. Middle and upper management do not work well with each other, and their strategy is not as clear as it could be. A lot of formerly in-house services have been outsourced, which has slowed down what were routine processes. Micromanagement seems to be on the rise.
