Pros

It's better than flipping burgers.

Cons

A very hierarchical organization, with an incredible amount of internal politics with a bureaucratic, slow moving, top-heavy management. Senior management expects you to be deferential, conformist and the only way to get on is to suck up, Payrises are consistently below inflation. The attitude of HR is "if you don't like it you can leave" (this is a literal quote from an HR manager commenting about a group with a staff turnover of over 30%); to senior management you are simply a cog in the machinery and you can be substituted at any time (no matter how many years of experience, degrees or qualifications you may have)

Pros

It is a large company with a record of 3 years without a recordable injury. Occasionally feeds the employees

Cons

The biggest issue with this plant and it invades every aspect of the company is a complete lack of ability to properly communicate information. The applies internal to departments, across departments and up and down. They have the technology to do it, just not the organization. Company could probably use much more Engineering organization.
