      Pros

      Business teams are very knowledgeable and team oriented. Majority of the folks on the business side are team players looking out for each other Opportunities to change jobs or even careers with in company. Many perks with in the company (e.g. Discounts on products, On-Site Credit Union, Good Health benefits, etc..). More than I can name.

      Generally good place to work, but continuously downsizing since 2003 - forget about work-life balance.

      Pros

      - Good place to get solid experience in manufacturing environment, great place for recent grads to work. - Highly ethical in practices and policies. Driving to consistency across the board in policies and procedures - Promote employee speaking up (courage and candor) - Compensation, though reduced, is within market ranges

      Cons

      - Very elitist and level conscious leaders. Recent compensation restructuring was oriented toward keeping executives and high level officials well-paid, all other professionals were stuffed in general buckets, reducing salary ranges, performance bonuses and long term incentives (non existent below management level). - Continuous downsizing since about 2003, each year depts must provide headcount reductions with significant increases in workload (no workload analysis allowed). The workload has become ridiculous - absolutely no work-life balance.
