Pros

good salary and training opportunities

Cons

- overload with work - no vacation backup system (when you leave on vacation you work double to be 'ahead' and when you come back you work double to catch up) - unfair system for promotions - all old bosses are men and now no more white men are allowed to promote to 'equalize the field' for women and other minorities, but of course the older white men just keep their unchallenged spot while white men just settle for lower managerial levels or leave the company - it was a much better company 10 years ago, many long-term employees live from memories and melancholy - benefits are ok, but continue to be cut: almost no salary raises no matter the inflation, targets get higher so that bonuses get lower, benefits for internal shop get smaller, almost no cost support for working from home

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
