Pros

Great benefits, great physical work environment, good salaries.

Cons

Terrible leadership and mid level management. Very little room or opportunity to advance if in the lower hierarchy position. Since it is a multi level organizational structure, there is a huge gap between the top of the organization and the lower levels, that lead to disenfranchisement of the employees, disengagement and the silo effect. Decision making and action taking is slow. The verbal committments on creating a great culture, a free to be movement and D&I efforts are just that, verbal. There is no actual action to make the culture better. The top leadership is in their own bubble with no efficent way to connect to an every day worker on any level. D&I and HR departments are a joke and just a facade. There is an apparent huge turn over in the HR department, and since almost self governing, they pretty much do whatever they want, and retain or promote terrible leaders. No true career development and advancement for an average employee. Although, the company leadership is very vocal on presenting the efforts to improve career development of its employees, But again, they are all verbal statements with no actionable steps to make them a reality.

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.
