Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, stable company. Well, they asked me for 100 words to write. A lot of very nice people. It feels good to work for a company, or for a brand that everybody knows about on the street. When you launch a new product it is distributed all over the world. Sufficient money to do the research and plenty of equipment if you need to test something. Managers are also better than at other companies I used to work for. Excellent facilities and plants and products that we make are some of the best in the world. If you like new product development it is not a bad place to be.

Cons

bureaucracy, not much innovation, very stiff cultureIt. is not the best place for creative people. There are multiple regulations, rules, procedures. Then you have training in procedures and how to follow them. A lot of meetings with a lot of people and nobody to make a decision. So we meet again in a week to get a concensus how to solve the problem. And then in one more week. By the time concensus is reached nothing is left from the original idea. But the pay is quite good, a lot of resources and we haven't had much penny pinching at least until lately. People are very good and friendly. So, I guess, may be there is something to working in teams but you have to get used to that it is very slow process.

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
