Pros

- nice atmosphere, they care about people to some extent - frequent assignment changes (2yrs) - despite supply chainis not the most sexy industry, they make this atmostphere that you feel doing something 'big' - probably best in class procesess and performance - focused on digitalisation

Cons

- salary is not competetive anymore. manager with 3 yrs experience have same money like good specialist with 4 years of experience. - sometimes you can get promotion in 3 years (for senior manager), sometimes after 6 you still wait. linked in 40% with performance and knowledge, another 60% is 'how other see you' or 'how politically correct you are' - workload in various roles might be different by 40% - opportunities and quality of work here goes with negative trend - 'diversity & inclusion' attacking from everywhere - all the product innovations come down to packaging & colour change, or downsizing. - bad culture of promoting overtimes (unpaid for managers) and work being sick

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

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
