Pros

Great coworkers. A company that is concerned about more than profit. Benefits are family oriented. Overtime is usually available. Good retirement plan. There is a lot of help for employees if you know where to find it. They do address employee concerns if enough people talk. Ie transportation schedules allowing time off.

Cons

Production metrics drive management decisions. This grinds employees down.

Pros

Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

Cons

The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
