Pros

Good pay, generally a good culture and atmosphere. Employee safety is very important

Cons

Management is disorganized structurally. Holes in the structure are allowed to exist. HR has too much power. Little to no training, except for new grads. It's all about who you know, not what you know. Many management decisions have been made to raise cost of production, so layoffs now.

Pros

-Very nice people -Good benefits and competitive salary -Stable and predictable schedule, hours, etc. -Lots of different areas to work in

Cons

-Entrenched leadership is inflexible to new ideas and restricts movement of high-performers in order to "keep" them; leads to limited upward mobility -Company culture is "collaborative" to the point that nothing can happen without consensus of many; this thwarts creativity and initiative. -Company is not agile enough to compete in many of the areas it has chosen.
