Pros

Privately held, great benefits, world-wide, competitive starting salaries, room to grow, employee stock ownership, innovative, growing company, very successful company with a very long history, develops employees

Cons

Typical of protein based companies it can tend to be a bit "good old boy", very easy to become pigeon holed in the industry, can at times be a slow moving giant

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
