Pros

I had full support to pursue an opportunity for professional growth when I found one. Management was understanding and flexible when personal time was needed. Experience was unique and useful in that I was given vital project work that was unusually advanced for my experience and education level.

Cons

Recognition for a job well done is almost non-existent. Supervisors in my area were micromanagers. Communication among business units is poor. Information needed for my project work was locked down in security measures to the point that I often "reinvented the wheel" on projects.

Pros

Money and money alone. Otherwise, it's not worth the hassle.

Cons

Heavy micromanagement. The plant is really run by the operations manager; the other managers just cowtow to him. Awful working conditions. The tendency to just pay lip service to the environmental and safety concerns gets rather concerning. Furthermore, they are more possessed with the trophy or the award that the safety record brings as opposed to the true benefit. Awful working hours: really if you do not devote your entire life to the company you are just not giving enough. Nights, weekends. 16 hour days are not uncommon and frequently. If, by chance, you happen to get thrown on shift, you can never do anything that requires a set schedule simply due to the insane rotation they put you on.
