Pros

Benefits are on-par with industry. Very structured, if that's your thing. Some of the best technology and systems in industry. CI system is fantastic and really makes the plants run smoothly.

Cons

Certain people get preferential treatment. Those who have been with the company since interns/college-hire are allowed to "pull rank" and are trusted over others, no matter what level you are. Unless you are going to play the game, speak the lingo, and act like a number, there isn't much room for advancement on merit/achievement alone. Granted, that's how a company of this size gets ahead.
