Pros

It's a pay check, nothing more. You don't have to work hard. People only do what they want to do.

Cons

Advancement is based on who you know not achievements. They only want YES people. Data is frowned upon. Workers run the plant. Rules aren't enforced. Benefit costs are high.

Good quality of people to work with. There's lots of training opportunities. Products and applications are diverse and interesting.

The benefits are not great, and the salaries tend to be lower than other companies. The organization is spread out, so any upward movement usually would involve relocation.
