Pros

Excellent pay for operators, more than their Shift managers.

Cons

Toxic environment. Management either lack awareness or are incredibly secretive and therefore provide very little clear direction. For a massive multinational, IT systems are disjointed and sub optimal, with large portions of functionality not used. Operators are very well paid, with a strong union and very little pressure from management. The pressure is applied to lower Management, with less pay, unrealistic expectations and lack of support. Functions like Supply chain are fortunate to take long lunch breaks and float around during the day, while operations are lucky to grab a quick break and are questioned if not always available on the factory floor.

Pros

Work-life balance exists and is generally respected. Bonuses can be good, depending on the year and leadership priorities. Strong, reputable brands that look impressive on a résumé. "Some" genuinely great people who work hard despite the environment.

Cons

No meritocracy whatsoever. Promotions and career growth are driven by favoritism, internal alliances, and visibility politics rather than performance or results. Advancement often feels like a popularity contest. “Core values” are largely performative. They are referenced often but ignored when inconvenient, especially at leadership levels. Questionable long-term strategy. Direction changes frequently, priorities shift without explanation, and long-term planning feels weak or reactive. Extremely bureaucratic. Simple decisions require excessive approvals, slowing execution and stifling innovation. Politics over performance. Success depends more on who you align with than what you deliver. If you're not "one of them" or if they don't want to continue paying you your value, they'll find ways to get rid of you. So choose wisely and research the role and team.
