Pros

If you are intelligent and enjoy being surrounded by stuck up people who are not as smart as you and who work much less harder than you yet make more money than you than voila this is your perfect dream job.

Cons

I was given a work load three times as time consuming as the other Production Managers who are juiced in while I received much less pay in terms of salary. The management plays big time favoritism and selects "royalty" for the cushy jobs while giving the hard working employees the shaft. Average level of intelligence for the workers is surprisingly below average. Human resources department is corrupted and protects upper management. Bad managers who do not really know how to motivate. Bad people all around.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
