Pros

No serious work needed, though may depending on segment you are. So, work-life balance is good if you are ambitious to take advantage of that.

Cons

Cannot focus on productive work. You are "cooperation citizen", all kind of propaganda, you need to serve those who creates there job in that area, watermark, safety, iso, black belt, kazen,S3, etc. etc. Terrible insurance, high deductible, people are afraid of seeing doctor, nothing covered except a few of preventive care. Your vacation evaporates every year. Upper managers, including CEO (I don't think he knows anything about managements) spams meetings and email to promote their propaganda. You can imagine how the lower managers would be under that system.

Pros

Good pay, unlimited PTO, and the occasional free lunch when leadership is in town. There are also volunteer activities available if you want to get involved.

Cons

Only 12 paid holidays, and Veterans Day and MLK Day aren’t included. Expectations shift constantly, creating rework, wasted effort, and frequent overtime that leads to burnout. The environment is highly political, with a small group gatekeeping information, unclear ownership, and perception often outweighing results. The business is volatile, with heavy, frequent restructures and ongoing headcount cuts. Technology and systems are outdated, processes aren’t documented, and training/onboarding is weak. The culture leans toward a boys’ club, and it’s easy to feel sidelined or disrespected—so you’ll need a thick skin. Decisions are driven by short‑term goals, and the future often feels uncertain.
