Pros

Flexible work hours. Good vacation and personal days off.

Cons

Used to be a great company to work for. It is now changing. Older employees (ie. people who knew their job and point out deficiencies/suggest improvements) are being turfed for younger inexperienced workers who are easier to manipulate. New managers (many from aerospace) are being hired trying to make changes but are making things more bureaucratic. Industrial valves are not airplanes. Smile, do your work, tow the company line, limit your opinions... or else...

Pros

If you like a 9 to 5 job where you are on a need to know basis and not interested in change or innovation this is the place for you. Great company if you're in your twilight years in your career.

Cons

Dead end job, very hard to work since majority of system and processes are why out of date. There is no room to advance, no interest in innovations or modernization and a do more with less attitude.
