Pros

Lots of training and opportunities to learn new things. Great benefits. Great company for new grads because they will be given more freedom and will not be held to the same standards as longer tenured employees.

Cons

Management changes course...FREQUENTLY. A top project today may be dissolved in 6 months. You have to be adaptable but sometimes too much change at once is difficult to recover from. The restructuring does not appear to have been planned well. Some facilities have become ghost towns. Picking a divisional HQ, that isn't equipped to be a HQ, because the GM is based there...not exactly forward thinking.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
