Pros

Very professional team at HQ with great support from the home office. Wonderful people at HQ. Lots of employee give-a-ways. Cereal for life. Some departments are great to work for like QA and Engineering. 1/2 days on Fridays at HQ during summer months to make up for awful winters.

Cons

Local site management in manufacturing plants are the demise of the company. Many little fiefdoms with LOTS of office politics. Lazy people at the bottom, stupid people at the top, good hard working folks in the middle. Soap opera drama everyday. "Outsiders" treated very poorly.
