Pros

Ample areas for learning and becoming well-rounded in your area of expertise, ONLY if you're a go-getter.

Cons

Where should I start.... 1-Lack of proper recruitment for managerial position, most of the managers does not have the proper knowledge in regards to their department processes. It's that old-school type of I know what i'm doing you just do what i tell you to do... 2-Lack of training for managerial positions, most of the so called "Leaders" does not a clue about what it takes to manage a team or how to create an environment for Innovation even though that's the company's slogan.... 3- Areas for advancement both on the paycheck and the job level are slim as you can possibly think of, the lack of respect for internal employees is easily seen throughout the organization. Going back to the recruitment process, it's very tedious and unnecessary and in most times lead to wrong candidate getting hired. 4- It's a place for people who doesn't necessarily have a killer knowledge set but they do what they're being asked to do and TALK the most!

Pros

There are a few good workers left, for now.

Cons

the management doesn’t know what they are doing They fire people who have put absolute hard work in by finding ways to fire them They don’t care about the hard work you put in for them, or the overtime. They won’t have your back, and it’s a very stressful invironment You walk around a concrete floor ALL DAY! And they endeavor to fire you if they see you sitting for just a few minutes after you’ve run around like a mad man/woman for HOURS all the while they observe you working hard… they just don’t care about your well being. You can get injured and they will fire you for being a “liability”. You could get a stratch and your jobs on the line. The hours are grueling long and when you say no to overtime because you’ve already exhausted yourself they will, again, seek to terminate your employment The new manager of line 3 and injection will be the fall of those areas. He started a fight with a female employee his first week( she was breaking records in line 3 and he had her moved to another shift a line because he couldn’t work with her) DO NOT WORK HERE!! The maintenance team is worse! Their manager doesn’t discipline them at all, hours and hours of break time and the operators get fired for an extra 10 minutes through the whole 12 hour shift… DO NOT WORK HERE
