Pros

Work/life balance is a plus. Always willing to work around my personal needs. Have given me a fair amount of opportunity to advance.

Cons

Compensation is just fair (for manufacturing at least). They call it "competetive" but it's just ok. I see a lot of jobs where I could make more money posted all the time. It's just never enough to take me off my current career path or give up a known work/life balance.

Good work life balance, many people fully remote or hybrid

Cons

Layoffs are often and if you don’t move quickly you get caught up in them

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
