Pros

Stable Company (100 years in Business) World Wide Footprint Good Brand Name Diversified Product Line

Cons

-Management lost their way with respect to how they treat people -Capricious and Ill-considered management decisions are forcing many good and loyal employees to relocate or quit -Management talks work/life balance but every decision they make seems to take more away from the lives of the people working there -Management has taken to the ideas that all employees are just interchangeable cogs that can be swapped around without consequences
