Pros

They allow you to develop yourself as a professional constantly offering you training and improvement courses, also they offer many technological facilities to perform the duties of each position

Cons

The pace of work is very demanding and increasingly less share with family and friends, and as the production process is 24 continuous hours the demands are very high

Pros

Strong market position. Global reach and scale. Highly committed leadership. An opportunity to re-invent an industry that has been under pressure from substitute materials. Glass is a fantastic product to work with.

Cons

Pressure from plastics and cartons is tremendous. Food and beverage industry more concerned about costs than taste, health and environmental impact. Company in need of a game changer in technology.

Pros

OI is a company over 100 years old and doesn't look to be going away. Very stable in the glass bottle making market place. As a company, OI has battled through most of the asbestos litigation and is still standing. Where other companies folded or filed for bankruptcy, OI managed the payouts and stayed in the game. Some really wonderful people work at OI and they have decent vacation time and are very diverse. They are very dedicated to ethics and morales and have continuous training for all employees on those topics. They hire cutting edge workers from colleges around the country.

Cons

Over the last few years, O-I has become very focused with "the stockholders." For a few years they had been very focused on building people and workplace satisfaction. They had invested in the Pathways program fostering employee happiness in and out of work. Then management changed and the focus changed from people to dollars. There have been several troubling days over the last few years, generally around the holidays, where large groups of people were let go. They have gotten rid of a lot of experience to cut budgets and are feeling the effects of those decisions now.
