Pros

Overall great company but a successful career completely relies on your ability to navigate a complex and brutal political climate. Work life balance is better than most companies. Training and development can be world class in most functions. They encourage you to broaden your experience with roles in multiple different disciplines and functions. Office environment is up to date and welcoming. Compensation for management level employees is competitive. Good overall retirement and benefits package. Great people and highly talented and competitive workforce.

Cons

Corporate restructuring continues....be careful what business unit you work in. If you are an administrative & technical (A&T) hire count on not getting promoted more than one time your entire career. There is a corporate glass ceiling that prevents non-management employees from getting the opportunity to compete for management level roles. Even with 10+ years internal experience and being top rated they will choose to hire new college graduates at management level before promoting from within. These are not isolated issues...they happen frequently and are very highly known by leadership, but the issue is ignored and top talent from non management levels leave each year.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
