Pros
Benefits relative to other competitors are phenomenal (401k is basically 6% emp + 9% HL, insurance is very very reasonable), work is easy, knowledgeable and experienced work force that is eager to educate for those who ask questions. Family friendly company with competent leadership. You won't get rich here, but pay is slightly better than industry average. Decent bonuses depending on global performance.
Cons
A few department managers that are disrespectful and short sighted (but let's be honest you'll find at least one at every company), but they're generally the exception. Advancement is difficult in the SSL industry so don't expect to rise quickly. But the most notable con -- The latest UASC merger was handled incredibly dishonestly when it came to staff retention. Area employees were told that some functions were being relocated and that they'd have an opportunity to stay aboard via interviews with other departments, but that unless they were willing to move there would be some severances. During this process they were told that current temps would not be given priority over current full time staff. They were also told that they would have multiple opportunities to interview as new positions arose, and would be given priority over outside hires. Not only was the process disorganized and haphazard, but both temps and outside hires were given jobs over qualified and tenured staff, contrary to what was disseminated through HR and management. The lack of honesty and lack of dignity shown to those being let go was appalling and disgraceful for an otherwise transparent and well run company. It left a bad taste in everyone's mouth and will not be forgotten when receiving future corporate communications. I wouldn't -not- recommend the company, but be aware that they will not always deal with you honestly.
