Pros

- Compensation is good for management level employees though a large chunk of pay is division performance based. - Working at a factory will get you promoted and recognized quicker than working in corporate HQ. - Great health, dental, and vision benefits. Good 401k. Stock purchase at discount. - Performance feedback good (depends highly on your specific manager).

Cons

- Middle management tends to be smarter than senior management. Senior management known to make short-sided and poor decisions frequently. - Older management team does not understand how to manage younger employees. This should change as older employees start to retire. - Pay for junior employees not on par with pay for junior employees at comparable companies. Management and senior level employees get paid on par with peers at other comparable companies.

Pros

Stable income and benefits, and a decent campus.

Cons

Sometimes not as much room to move unless you're in with the right people. I say it's stable, as in income, of course, till there is a bad year and your division/buisness group is on the chopping block. No real incentive to overachieve.
