Pros

The HQ is amazing and beautiful and really everything you could ever want in an office. The majority of people I worked with outside of the procurement department were amazing, kind, and easy to work with and they made it hard to leave (marketing, it, finance, accounting, supply chain, etc)

Cons

Where to begin.... First of HR is useless and a waste of time they will always back the management and uphold their behavior no matter how cruel and insensitive. Procurement has so many problems I don't know which is worse the clear favoritism, political games, lies, backstabbing or just plain disregard for company rules. Favoritism is rampant there are clear "golden children" who are promoted frequently without waiting the full year for a promotion. They hire people who are friends with their friends even if more qualified people interview (internally & externally). I applied internally and was interviewed and the job position was discussed in an open area with a co-worker regarding who they were offering the job to. Management wants to lock people into whatever position they are good at and leave no room for growth (which will be promised in the interview). They have extremely hard working people not being compensated for their work. My discontent was openly discussed with two levels of direct managers and no action was taken and internal applications were blocked by current manager lying to the prospective hiring managers and getting interviews that were arranged cancelled. The deceit and favoritism is what drove me to leave despite loving most of the people I worked with every day. They are also ruthless and not considerate of people struggling in their personal life with non-visible disabilities (which I could have choose to litigate if I had wanted),

Pros

Good pay for the location. Established business in the area (over 50 years running), probably not going anywhere for a while. As long as you show up, do your work, and don't violate safety rules, you have job security. Rotating schedule allows for a lot of time off (unless you're drafted).

Cons

The environment can be very uncomfortable in some areas due to lack of climate controls. Constant back and forth between "the way it's always been done" and "let's try something new." Rotating schedule can be harsh. Sometimes it's hard to know who is in charge of something, as people get moved around a lot. Draft can eat into your time off, especially if your area is shorthanded. Communication from corporate seems to hit a wall before it reaches the technicians and operators; changes planned for years will seem abrupt to the people on the floor.
