Pros

The people there are extremely friendly - even though I was an intern I was treated with full respect like the other full-time employees. Work/Life balance seems amazing at the lower to mid levels: they expect 45-50 hour work weeks which is perfectly fine, especially with the work from home concept. Culture is great and the atmosphere is friendly, sometimes empty since most lower - mid level people work from home. You always get products here and there which is a perk.

Cons

Despite all of its pros, the company is extremely slow in pushing for new technology or developments. Not agile like they desire to be. The people, though very nice, have no ambition-- everyone is perfectly content with their jobs and the most they think about is moving up within the company, which is not "ambitious". And it's Cincinnati -- not a good place to live.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
