Pros

Great opporunities for real freedom very early in your career. When you are told its your job to do x or y, it really is. Management is generally supportive and provides strong coaching. The training that is provided is very good and is common to all employees which creates a strong unity of purpose.

Cons

Expectations for career advancement can be overplayed. When you are told you will be associate director in 8 years this is only true if you are both exceptionally talented and have complete international flexibility. The organisation can also be quite rigid, if you haven't used the right words to describe your idea it probably won't go anywhere.

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
