Pros

Work culture - collaborative environment without rat race. Well paid with no expectations to stay long hours. It's possible to work here 10-20 years. Company strategy is to promote from within so they try to keep retention very low.

Cons

It is not easy to quit. I.e. you start as a youngster, hired while you have little experience, then you spend first few years growing, your salary increases in a bit addictive pace, you (rightly) extrapolate your pay to next few years when comparing with jobs outside and you find yourself still in the company after 5 years. You get used to friendly environment, and accept getting detached from the outside world. After 10 years you're still around with very little self confidence that your experience is worth a lot in external world, you feel overpaid, in a golden cage. Net -- beware to not stay around too long (unless you have ambitions to get high in the hierarchy).

Pros

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
