Pros

Great people, dynamic environment, and excellent hands on experience. Upper management is extremely knowledgeable and my current boss is a great role model and mentor.

Cons

Some of the union veterans that operate the machinery are clearly there to just collect a paycheck and take no pride in their work or maintaining quality.
