Pros

Feudenberg is still a family owed global corporation, with that comes opportunities, support and security.

Cons

Large corporations standardize processes and so you might not always agree with how things are done. That isn't specific to this company though.

Good Pay for the area. They offer opportunities to get involved.

Little-to-no communication. The "Culture" is shoved down one's throat but not followed by management.
