Pros

Job security, vacation and healthcare benefits. Global company with many locations and opportunities to move around. Assuming you have a good manager, there are always opportunities to grow your responsibility and learn new things.

Cons

Long and uber political process to promotion above the band 2 manager level, especially now that the company isn’t growing. Promotion opportunities are shrinking and leadership is not transparent at all about it, making you think you just need to do the “one extra thing” to set you apart. Great, but it’s still around 15 yrs to a section head/b3 promotion. Also, in engineering most “managers” (salaried employees) don’t manage people until they reach the b3 level and then many are not a therefore terrible at it.

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
