Pros

- great people - great low/mid level management - really focused on growing their people ... had over 3 bosses in last 5 years and all of them were great. great people and great leaders - stable business, good internal training / coaching program

Cons

- slow and diluted decision making ... the more you climb your career ladder the more obvious and dissapointing it gets - beaurocracy and standards for everything - without enough focus on updating the standards to keep with the current state of business - politics, politics ... and a lot of internal PR that makes you wonder why after years of succesfull simplification efforts your work gets more and more complex

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
