Pros

BBQ on Fridays, toilet paper in the restrooms.

Cons

The cons are everything else. I worked there 7 years and should have seen the writing on the wall half a year in when my co-worker was let go and I picked up 100% of his responsibilities along with the full time work I was already doing for the same pay. Very unrealistic expectations, moving-target goals, and a turnover faster than the overnight shift at McDonalds. Don't bother getting to close to anyone there; chances are they'll be gone shortly. Those that stay sacrifice their family and self-esteem to do so. Upper management WAY out of touch. Most employees constant worried about losing their jobs. They claim they are the 'Employer of Choice' however in the USA treat their employees horribly.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
