Pros

Stabile employer, good relocation package, and decent benefits.

Cons

Boring work and inflexible corporate structure. Hypocritical expectations from leadership. Was told to work 55-60 per week as all salaried employees salaried supposedly do, but once I had been there a while I realized nobody put in those kind of hours.

Pros

Steady paycheck. Decent benefits. Good diversity. Many people are exceptionally skilled at what they do. Some really good middle-level managers.

Cons

Has gone downhill since I've started here. This company has good roots, but over the past couple of years it has taken a lot of mental gymnastics to keep up with all of the changes in upper management. There's been high turnover rates in plant operations, mass department layoffs and "consolidations" that leaves many feeling insecure. Most are required to shoulder the work of many roles for no increase in pay. The now skeletonized staffing also appears to affect safety culture in a negative way.
