Pros

1) Good People work there 2) Inclusive environment 3) Many internal options to learn new skills 4) Strong technical community 5) fair work-life balance in non-managerial roles in R&D.

Cons

Evolution since the Award system (aka Star Awards) was implemented are going to lead to systemic issues in the company's ability to remain competitive. Awards, which are linked to company & business unit performance, are now being used in place of raises, which are INDIVIDUAL Employee performance. Someone "meeting expectations" gets the same Award as an employee who over-delivered at the same level on thd company. Raises should be the differentiator between employees, but more managers are giving smaller raises and then using the excuse "well, you do get x amount as your Award". Raises should be stand alone and based solely on employee performance, full stop. To do otherwise decreases employee satisfaction, leads to staff only doing the bare minimum, and great competitive people working elsewhere.

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
