Pros

Good, low cost health insurance. Paid holidays off or double time holidays if working Paid vacation time Sick days Awards program Stock options Appreciation dinners

Cons

Changed to 12 hour shifts Moved company overseas to save money Pay is not competitive in comparison to other companies Raises were inconsistent and very low in comparison to other companies I filled in for a supervisory position, temporarily, but when I applied to make the position permanent I lost out to someone with far less experience only because they had a BA (a BA that was completely unrelated to any job within the company)
