Pros

*Welcoming, inclusive culture. People genuinely care about you *Excellent advancement opportunities *Headquarters is a wonderful place to work. *Senior leaders have the company on the right path with a strong strategic vision and the tools that are necessary to realize that vision.

Cons

*Some leaders are excellent. Others are only excellent at looking good for their supervisor. Without 360 feedback processes in place for everyone, the company does not see the difference. If a leader is bleeding talent in their organization and/or morale is low, have the courage to find out why, and take action. *There are wide disparities in quality of work and life depending on where you are. Some locations have happy, talented, motivated workforces. Others simply don't. Make sure you know which one you're going to.

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.
