Pros

Hard to see many after you get through the politics.

Too many to list. McDonald's would be a better option.

Pros

Pay after a few years

Cons

Communication is non existent between departments, management is well aware but refuses to mend or fix the issue. This same situation is rampant through the whole business. Major issues, concerns etc. Will be known by the team and then when you've beat a horse to death it will become the crisis of the day after most have gave up caring. Production should not supercede over safety. Training is non existent due to there only being a few senior people left who actually know how to run the plant correctly. You will frequently train your boss or superior since they like to hire outside talent rather than the good talent from within. Accountability will not be a talking point as none is upheld whatsoever, come to work late, no call no show, insubordination, poor work ethic etc. Basically a free rain to do whatever because the precedence has been set that everyone knows there will be no repercussions. Raises are based on seniority and not performance so you'll work next to people who can't do half what you can but they'll make more since they've been here longer. The total rewards program is a joke, they will compile the benefits that the company paid and try and include that as a revenue of income as well as the endless pizza parties,shirts etc that no one wants yet are constantly provided. Career development is based on the 'click' of upper management and how much you can brown nose them. All in all if you like to be silenced and have no voice and can put up with leaders who have no right to be in that position this is the place for you.

Pros

A lot of opportunities for growth throughout the company and different divisions. Just need to put in the effort to network and keep an eye open for them because they fill up quickly.

Cons

Very fast-paced. While I don't personally think that is a bad thing, some may struggle with that environment.
