Pros

Talented hardworking coworkers - people work harder at this company than anywhere else I’ve been in my career, including startups. Good name to have on your resume.

Cons

Many members of senior management, particularly in supply chain, have zero leadership ability. Extremely siloed departments mean that no part of the business works effectively. Company is extremely outdated and does not care to invest in updating - software, management philosophy, manufacturing practices are reminiscent of 1985 which can be extremely frustrating. Workload and expectations are absolutely unreasonable - expect to work 80 hours a week unendingly without getting everything done. TPM is aspirationally used without a basic understanding of the principles, so it just becomes a blame game exercise. Ad hoc reporting is created ad nauseam with the worst systems I’ve seen in my 20 year career. Feedback is a one way street and goes down the ladder only. Benefits were great at one time but are now pretty poor compared to competitors, with the exception of the pension plan if you can stick it out without working yourself to death. I truly worried about my direct reports having heart attacks and strokes from overwork so take that for what it’s worth.

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
