Pros

Good benefits, different shifts available, the work is relatively easy but can quickly become 'mindnumbingly' routine.

Cons

lack of opportunities to be upwardly mobile. when a job posting comes out, you are competing against at least 10-15 people (sometimes as many as 30-40 people) because many tenured people are desperate to move up. final decisions on candidates seem to be based on who you know, not education or experience. many quality people have left the company because they just can't get ahead.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
