Pros

HQ is in a mid size affordable fun city which is great for families. The brands sell themselves for the most part, executive senior management has put this company on a growth course.

Cons

This is a very very large company and very very political. Some of the focus has shifted from marketing and selling great products to middle management promotions to “check the right boxes” leading to some leaders who are clearly not ready for highly visible roles. In a great economy, this is easy to disguise but when the economy slows, the leadership flaws will begin to show. So, like every big company with tenured employees, friends promote friends based mostly on that, they also accelerate promoting younger talent for fear of losing the next generation but most are just not ready. Nepotism and fear being down empires, I really hope that doesn’t happen. Hey, I have been the beneficiary of this practice but needed to be said. So, if you do join us don’t be surprised if your boss is all of 26 years old and has a whole 3 years under their belt.

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
