Pros

The company is very stable in this rocky economy. The local site I work at has respect for its employees and is very conscientious about product quality. The managment is always open to working with the employees to find process improvements and new ideas to help our company be successful. My site is very supportive in helping team members progress in their career path. I have the trust and the freedom to do what is necessary to facilitate technology improvements at my local site.

Cons

Lack of consistency or communications. Poorly thought out initiatives are inflicted on business units without a full understanding or regard for the impact they will have.
