Pros

Plenty of opportunities in a variety of different businesses. Lots of training opportunities if you are at the corporate office. Good overall strategy. Have had the opportunity to have a couple great managers.

Cons

Relocation is required for many of the opportunities. Big disconnect between corporate and plant cultures. HR processes are unclear and poorly communicated resulting in a lack of transparency. Work life balance is a major issue at the plants. Lack of diversity. Pay is not so great.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
