Pros

Many different industries to work in, and it's not hard to move to different locations and/or a different division within the company. Good people to work with. Manufacturing and Lab/Corporate usually have a good working relationship. Work-life balance is good most of the time. They also do a decent job of investing for the future and increasing capacity.

Cons

Absolute, calculated average on pay and benefits. They say they want the best employees to drive innovation but are not willing to pay for them. As with a lot of big companies, there is a level of hypocrisy as it is said employees are the most important resource in the company but everything is, of course, metric-driven and decisions are made to best benefit the stockholders.

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.
