Pros

Employee stock discount, pension. Excellent management that moves the company through a complex changing world. Financially strong and getting better. Ethically a great company. Strong future for their products.

Cons

Engineers don't stick around since the pay does not advance like other companies and promotions are hard to achieve at some sites. After 5-10 years, you will be 10-20k behind other companies for the same years of service. The company also has too many non local people that don't want to stick around for more than 2-4 years, so they leave. This nets on average a 80-90% loss of people by 5 years in the engineering roles. Bad health care network option and terrible coverage. Also a lack of respect for talent on the individual contributor side. Local management has no control over salaries and raises are often small .

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
