      Pros

      They do a lot of leadership and development training and have food brought in a lot.

      Cons

      No one really looks at talent. It's a good ol boys club all the way from Corporate to the Plants. They have a review system in place where you basically have to sell yourself, but it doesn't matter what you've actually accomplished. Unless you are on the right side of the politics, you may as well just sit back and enjoy at least the pay check because you will never get recognized or promoted. The CEO only wants entry level college kids hired who will only stay 5 yrs or less and wants all of the older seasoned talent out. It costs too much for benefits in the long run. (not kidding)

      Excellence Doesn't Matter Anymore

      Pros

      You get a lot of autonomy if you want it. Freedom and flexibility to manage your own schedule for the most part. Decent salaries, benefits are average and comparable to most other places.

      Cons

      Despite doing everything asked and expected, and even exceeding those expectations, you'll only get ahead if the "optics" are right. They talk a lot about development, but at the end of the day, the only thing that gets you ahead is whether your boss gets noticed, rewarded, etc. I suppose you could just manage your career by making the boss look good. But if you try to manage your career by being focused on adding value for the company, delivering on strategic and operational goals, and doing the right thing for your people, you're really just wasting your time. The culture has become demoralizing, disappointing, and exasperating.

      Pros

      Nice co workers. Decent 401k, vision, dental insurance.

      Cons

      No room for growth unless you are 'fast tracked'. Upper management doesn't recognize you unless you do something extra ordinary. People stay in their positions sometimes over 10 years. Very high turnaround
