Pros

Great ethical company. Typically when a tough moral decision is to be made, I am confident the decision will align with my ideals. Seeing the products you build on the highways and farms and knowing you are helping others improve and enjoy their lifestyles is rewarding. Colleges and workmates have great character and are fun to work with. Most everyone tries to enjoy their job.

Cons

Work Work Work. 10-12 hr days are the norm, and 14-16 hr days are extremely common. Work life balance is promoted and discussed at employee meetings and reviewed during evaluations, but when it comes down to your raise and promotions...if you have a work life balance, you aren't getting a raise or promotion. Regulations, Standards, and Processes are getting out of control. Everywhere you turn processes and procedures are not being followed due to the lack of manpower and time to complete correctly.
