Pros

You get paid every week.

Cons

This is the modern equivalent of an oubliette. It’s a miserable, monotonous job. People get a weird sense of superiority working here because it’s one of the “best” jobs in town but you can commute thirty minutes and find something way better. Plus, whatever they say is important to them it’s the opposite. Diversity? Not in management. Safety? lol I’m surprised nobody’s died. I was once asked to run a 2000 amp machine with water actively dripping on top. Among many, many other things. Job security? People started getting sniffly and they went into panic mode - talk of layoffs then they implemented voluntary separations. So many people left that place for a measly 2k. And they were the smart ones. This job is miserable. Anyway, if profitability drops half a percent, have fun in the bread line. Benefits? Less and less every year with a deductible that would choke a hippo. If you’re relatively young and mechanically inclined, pick up a trade. Don’t get suckered into a job where you’re running a machine that there’s only three of in the country - then when you get laid off in twenty years your experience is worthless.

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

Pros

Concern for Safety is a legitimate priority. The work is very process oriented and theres little uncertainty or chaos in the day to day. Theres a formalized way of doing everything. Work-life balance is good for the american standard.

Cons

The company is 100+ years old so the way things get done is over-constrained and very resistant to change. As a result work can be monotonous and Information, while abundant, is extremely difficult to reliably retreive. You will work harder not smarter.
