Pros

People are good to work with, problems focus on processes and not the people. Employees empowered and trusted to make decisions. Usually held accountable too.

Cons

Red tape, promotions based on who you know or how well liked and known you are by management. Currently a lot of consultants are giving some not so great advice and Sr mgmt is listening. Pay, career path, and business organization have lacked direction over the past several years.

Pros

Decent salary for locality compared to other major employers. Production Shift pattern gives plenty of time off. (144 shifts vs. 221 days off per annum) Private Health care scheme. Share purchase scheme with buy 2 get 1 free deal. Company Shop to purchase products cheaply.

Cons

Far too much nepotism going on. New workers employed not for their skills and competancy, but because of who they are related to, or are best friends with! HR awkward with no heart. Company sticks rigidly to rules but employees expected to be ultra flexible. Company using current economic climate as excuse to trim costs, have ruined the future defined benefit pension of many long term employees by capping annual rises, also coupled with below inflation pay rises for the past 3 years, and pay band freezes/downgrading.
