Pros

Good benefits and pay (subject to the economic downturn that is hitting everyone). People are laid back but professional. The work is intellectually easy, although it can demand some physical effort to get it all done. Clients and consumers are generally easy to deal with as long as you are not pushing an agenda and disregarding the basic courtesies of civilization (say "hello, how are you" instead of "i need more space. What can you do for me?") Diverse company with lots of places to move to, grow in, dream about...solid corporation too.

Cons

-Communication between production and operations is DISMAL (a circular feedback loop or upside/downside communication loop is needed). You never know if you are going to be short or mis-shipped or if something is no longer available. You order and hope for the best. -People seem stagnant. Once they or you are in a position, that is where you stay. There is no training, teaching, pushing, helping you to achieve the next promotion. Basically, it's "you are here, i am there and let's just keep it that way because it is working" mentality. A former boss told me it was his job to prepare me for his job so someone could take his place when he moved up...not so here. -If you are hourly in operations, getting enough hours to survive can be a challenge. If you are commission sales, working too many hours can be an issue BUT the company is making good strides here so you can still have a personal life.
