Pros

The only hire the best, which makes it a fun and challenging place to work. It's exciting to see the things you work on every day at the shelf at Wal-Mart and Target. The compensation is excellent and the culture is top notch compared to other companies I've worked for.

Cons

Because they hire the best, getting to "the top" can be challenging. The career model in F&A is clear, but doesn't make it any easier to accept how long it takes to make it to "executive" level. If you come in with previous work experience or an MBA, you basically are credited 2-3 years and your clock starts from there. It is common for me to work with people my age that are 1-2 levels ahead of me simply because they started straight from undergrad. So, you have to learn to swallow your pride.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
