Good place to work.

Pros

Good all around benefits, good work life balance, very stable job. People are very understanding about taking time off and you start off with 3 weeks vacation and 2 weeks unpaid, which is great.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, have to run your decisions by 100 people before you can get anything done. I work in a plant so it is discouraging sometimes to hear about all the perks that the corporate folks get.

The amount of time spent dealing with e-mails and other non essential items. Many times we need to check work over and over to ensure everyone is on board with our actions.
