Pros

- Friendly atmosphere within the site - Open door policy between managers & staff - Relatively young site with a lot chance for bonding outside of work - Good benefits like staff shops - Good free private healthcare scheme - Lots of training given to staff

Cons

- If you go to a non red brick uni you come in as a Researcher; if you went to a red brick uni (think Oxbridge etc) you come in as a Scientist. The career advancement from Researcher to a Senior Scientist level may take 15 years whereas comparatively it only takes up to 5 years from a Scientist to go onto Senior Scientist. So for those coming in at the bottom, expect to stay there awhile. - Don't expect a good pay if you start at the bottom. - You are expected to put in the hours.

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
