Pros

Good company. Knowledgeable staff. Good communication. Management is fair but horrible HR group. From benefits to employee help to really anything their involved in...they mess it up badly. HR is overly worried about marketing their department as competent, instead of actually being competent.

Cons

Clean house in HR. From the VP down. Most of the lower level HR folks are actually nice and try, but the upper echelon folks are too worried about their performance and create new stupid things to make them look relevant. Their not. Workday sucks and doesn't work well. Benefits are terrible too. We don't need "superheroes" we need good healthcare! Don't ask for input weeks into a year long thing, ask after several months about it. Duh!

Pros

The local plant where I work is a great environment. Local management tries to leverage talent when they see it and advocate for the opportunities of both blue and white collar workers. Within the larger corporation there are a lot of opportunities for growth and education.

Cons

A very large global corporation makes everyone a small fish in a big pond. The strong, centralized management doesn't leave much opportunity for discretionary decisions. Priorities that may be good for one region can be difficult for another to work to.

Pros

Managers do not wear uniforms nor carry weapons. The factory does not have armed guard towers nor electrified, barbed wire fences.

Cons

On the other hand... workers are seen as only a means to an end. The bottom line is production quota, and if you fall behind... there's usually hell to pay. This demeaning task is usually performed by a Kapo, who was once a production worker too -- but found a way out [by supervising other workers]. Very negative environment, where workers get "burned out" fairly quickly. High turnover.
