Pros

Decent benefits. Diverse population (excluding upper management).

Cons

Cronyism, politics, and favoritism displayed from management and HR members. Unfair payment practices (new college grads with BS in engineering making ~15k+ more than others in similar positions who either have a degree in another field or no degree at all, but may have years of experience in manufacturing). Non-anonymous suggestion system that HR responds to with comments that do not address the actual issue (example: Q- "Will a housing allowance be considered to counter the rising rent prices?" A - "We have a year-end bonus for which members may be applicable based on performance."). Lack of salary transparency. Many incompetent individuals in senior positions. Base level employees with engineering degrees are automatically promoted within approx. a year and a half after joining company (a pro if you have an engineering degree). Lack of consistency within methods and systems from area to area (even if procedures are present, most management either does not express that knowledge or just doesn't enforce amongst members). Departmental responsibilities are frequently unclear.
