Pros

- excellent company to start with - gives good basis and understanding of processes and forces - well developed and clear culture - strong purpose, values and principles through - good process of selection and interviewing

Cons

- due to size of the company the decision making is extremely slow - ideas/suggestions needs to be approved by pack of managers and/or organizations, that kills the motivation to innovate - company progress is going by sine curve that's why all people/systems progressing the same way - too many politics in operating process, decision making

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
