Pros

Stable business, biggest in a field where size matters Industry experience and networking International presence Good cash and benefits once you make it into the high rollers

Cons

HR is too powerful, ridiculously inept, and rarely benevolent Shady accounting and favoritism Pac Man innovation; gobble up ideas, but not come up with many Performance evaluation framework is baseless and arbitrarily overruled (for worse only, and sometimes collectively) by top management

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
