Pros

Great opportunities globally, very flexible training, good educational assistance programmes, fun people to work with, excellent focus on Safety at a procedural level, global company has a strong rigour around ethical behaviour, excellent ethnic diversity

Cons

Very little opportunity for growth in the South Pacific (old boys club at the highest levels), managers dont move around so very little risks taken on promotions etc, at a working level morale is very low but because that is consistent across the South Pacific it keeps workforce close knit (common enemy), very focused on compliance not necessarily whats best for local business and personnel e.g. ethics is a good example where the requirements are known and practiced but the execution of the outcomes is really poor (focuses on the one or two not the root cause - thats too hard). Micromanagement at a very senior level is distracting from growth, very poor gender diversity

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
