Pros

Not a whole lot really

Cons

Terrible work place habits. During orientation you get tons of information on how to protect yourself from harmful chemicals, you get a locker with a lock, unless you bring your own lock(company provides one) on your first day. They steal that information out of your locker. When you figure out that direct supervisors are giving you orders that are putting you in danger, and bring it up to upper management, you get fired. They take advantage of marginalized employees who either don't understand, and or are afraid to speak up because they won't be able to get a better (or even a similar paying) Jon.

Pros

Range of creative, scientific, business, supply chain and support jobs. Global experience and mobility opportunities (at mid to high level positions). Good health benefits compared to many other companies. Company is strong financially and growing financially (but opportunities are being filled by outside talent, not internally)

Cons

Pervasive clique-oriented culture and sink-or-swim for those not in a protected group, both which play key roles in advancement opportunities. Perception and network matters more than individual results. Inequitable distribution of heads to sites in dire need. Poor HR environment for quality employee support, growth, and development. Burnout becoming very pervasive, with company asking for more-and-more. IS systems are cumbersome and poorly designed...creative more inefficiency instead of solving efficiency issues.
