Pros

Great benifits. Decent Pay. Work with smart people that require you to improve your performace. Great place to work and to support your family. Recession proof job.

Cons

Not much of a chance to move up into managment as Tech. Every manger at the plant level is Engineer of somesort. Revoling door for plant managers ( i.e. I have had 4 new plant managers in 5 years) that the Old school local mangers, that been at the plant forever, steer the young plant manager to what they want. So who is really your boss? You have to fight for vaction bewteen 10 other people. If that day is book you can't take your vacation. The work schdule is demanding and does not let you have any sort social life.
