      Pros

      - Competitive pay - Very nice home office facility (cafe', offices, workout, etc.) - For the most part, nice people working alongside you on the lines. - Club Med for most departments outside of Engineering/Sales/ Marketing. Manageable hours. - Top player in their space (also a Con - see below - just bought!). Top brand "Hefty" on Consumer too. - Beefy Logistics and Customer Service Depts. Make it, move it, etc.

      Cons

      - Get you in with the 'bait' (money), but very hard to move anywhere even laterally - Old boy regime dating back to the 80's. Cronies protected. One or two guys tapped on shoulder for promotions. - Just acquired in Nov 2010 by a foreign private equity. MASS layoffs have just occurred with more to come likely. Creating a very hectic work environment with the new owners' hard line focus on profit. I'm sure some areas are less affected, but the last few months were nightmarish, and provided a pretty good '8 ball' of the new focus in 2011.

      Pros

      Great folks at all levels, very helpful with product development, tooling issues, and if needed to send folks to school for additional training.

      Cons

      I really can not think of any
