Pros

Great compensation, solid benefits and overall a very flexible position from a work/life balance perspective(*). This place will push you to your limits and challenge you in ways you weren't expecting - depending how you handle it, this is a pro.

Cons

Over-burdened, high-stress job. A LOT of expectation and ownership is placed on you at this company (particularly in the engineering department). You are thrown into a lot of training at the start, but a good chunk of the core work you do is typically self taught overtime which is stressful. The company values their engineers, however, that value usually translates to unrealistic expectations and deadlines. (*)Work/life balance is a pro in a lot of senses, but when things go wrong at the plant, expect to be forced into shift work, night work and weekend work to address the issues. This extra time worked is not paid- however, they are generally good about allowing you to take some comp time, though it is unofficial. Corporate requests generally is a sore subject for workers at the plant. Amid stressful periods at the plant, expect to have random Corporate initiatives that will ultimately flood your workload and force you to reprioritize high-priority work. Time management is an extreme challenge at this company.

Pros

Coworkers are all intelligent and overall good people to spend 12hrs a day with.

Cons

The department is perpetually understaffed. You’ll never actually work an 8hr shift, because no one is dumb enough to vote for that schedule. There’s not enough operators to fill the schedule without being forced all the time for 16hr shifts. Be prepared to be forced for OT on a regular basis even with a 12hr schedule. If your family is important, then this probably is not a good long-term plan. You’re going to miss sports, holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc. You live at work and home is a place you sleep. The company might advertise company holidays, but that just means you get paid a little more for being here on those days.
