Pros

Good all around benefits, good work life balance, very stable job. People are very understanding about taking time off and you start off with 3 weeks vacation and 2 weeks unpaid, which is great.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, have to run your decisions by 100 people before you can get anything done. I work in a plant so it is discouraging sometimes to hear about all the perks that the corporate folks get.

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.
