Pros

Good brand recognition, safety concious (wrong reasons), some great talent, not afraid to purchase premium equipment and be innovative.

Cons

Very political. ALOT of incompetent mid-management. Those folks are always looking for scapegoats to cover their actions or lack of. You are expected to relocate in order to advance (prob why mid management is so weak). They tend to purchase their technology and let the knowlegable people go (b.c they make too much) and then ruin good products by lack of knowlege and cost reduction. Work/life balance is poor. Pay and raises could be better. Review process is a joke.

Pros

Acceptable 401K matching with immediate vesting as well as an age based deferred compensation program that has a 3 year vesting period. Standard benefits and pay consistent with industry. Acceptable safety practices defined and adhered to throughout organization.

Cons

Moderately high turnover (at least my division). Inconsistent treatment of employees (flex time allowed for some employees but not others in same work category, some employees told to use personal car or phone for work activities while others get in trouble for same type of work activity, allowing some employees the options to apply and move internally while others are not allowed - and are sometimes even forced to moved to a role for which they didn't apply against their desires). Inconsistent reporting of data and legal brushes aside your questions/findings making you seem like you did something wrong when uncovering something fishy.
