Pros

The culture was very cozy and friendly. You had access to seasoned employees...people work there forever. I loved my department.

Cons

Low salary; even though I had a Master's degree in the field I was working in, my salary did not reflect any additional education. My annual raise was $.50. They are behind the times in regards to technology and if you work there too long you can date yourself and not be able to obtain a position at a more advanced company. Lots of paper not automated.

Pros

Solid pay for the industry Okay benefits Employee stock purchase plan Pretty consistent hours The actual work is difficult, but fun after you get good at it. Upward momentum is difficult, but the pay scales very well if you work your way up into management. Prepare for intense work if you do though.

Cons

They hire everyone, and your team will make or break your experience. Genuine safety concerns on 3rd shift. You need to be prepared for people to act out. Senior management only have operation management skills. They are not good "people" managers at all. Only "number" managers.
