Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Nice canteen lunch area. Nice retirement plan.

Cons

-12 hour shifts. -No breaks if no one can cover you, and if you're an operator it's even harder -Have to try to find someone to cover you every single day just to take lunch, which gets old. Couldn't do this for 20 years. -Mandatory long sleeve uniforms - Ambiguous leadership. Rarely get a solid answer to anything - high turnover and understaffed leading to burnout of the people who do show up - Good work ethic/initiative is often milked and goes largely unrewarded - Half your coworkers are trying to do as little as they can get away with

Pros

Great benefits, hybrid & remote roles, great colleagues to work with. Great vacation /time off. Helpful colleagues

Cons

Reorganizations (roughly 3 years), IT roles dwindling in North America(moving to India), teams can get very silo-ed, “not my role” = not helping you (when you are looking for answers/assistance), currently seeing a lot of movement out of New Jersey (roles moving to other parts of the country), some organizational charts can be confusing, huge organization(can be difficult at times pinpointing the exact team you may need to work with)
