Pros

Great team atmosphere, above-average retirement benefits, casual atmosphere, not stingy when requesting eqpt, maintenance, supplies etc. Lots and lots of good people. Mainly well-managed, esp. w.r.t. finding new products, getting them registered and to market. They make GREAT products. Very compliance-minded.

Cons

Advancement is VERY VERY difficult, unless you change groups. And changing groups is diffiocult. They like employees to specialize too much and not diversify. Tho' they talk a good game about employee development, they don't deliver.
