Pros

It will either make you or break you. If you succeed you will be headhunted. My Marketing Director is offered a new job about once a week. Because of the long term benefits of the profit-sharing scheme he stays.

Cons

It will either make you or break you.... The competitiveness does not really matter as much as the networking. I personally was not the best , but succeeded to the top of the rankings simply as I got on best with my managers. This is pretty much what I have heard throughout the rankings. Your home-life can suffer, and whilst they offer flexi-time and sabbaticals, anyone who actually takes those can kiss their advancement goodbye.

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
