Pros

This is a very large company, so if you're looking for a place to work long term with a lot of different opportunities, this is a great place to be. You do need to wait until people move to a different role or retire before getting opportunities for advancement though.

Cons

As a major company, it is very slow moving sometimes. Decisions that should take a few days can drag on into weeks and weeks at a time.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
