Pros

Will have to get back to you.

Cons

Where to begin? First and foremost, profits before people. Second, absolutely terrible communication/coordination top to bottom, cross discipline, and inter-site. Constantly redoing the org structure as if that will fix enterprise-wide leadership shortcomings. HR dept, top to bottom, is highly incompetent yet unjustifiably empowered. Constant executive level turnover: 3 CFOs, 3 SVP of Ops, 3 Controllers, (at least) 3 reorganizations of senior commercial team, revolving door of plant managers/plant leadership all in last 2 years -- and there's no end in sight. The irony is that the despite the name of this organization, there is no innovation, no new products, just failed acquisitions. If you want to be miserable, always left in the dark, be part of a reactive organization with no vision/direction, but be given a free lunch every now and again and told how lucky you are to work at such a wonderful place in such a phony culture, giddy up!

Pros

You get a paycheck and can say you're employed

Cons

Believe them when they say it's a horrible place. The favoritism is the worst I've ever seen. You can screw up all you want, and it's OK as long as you're the friend of, relative of, or sexual partner of someone higher up. If you're not one of those three things, you won't last long. They refuse to provide the tools and information needed to get the job done, forcing employees to use workarounds that were outdated 20 years ago and making the company look incompetent in the meantime. Stay away!
