Pros

Company does well in the marketplace. Some people have been in the industry for very long and can be a good resource of experience.

Cons

Bureaucracy, takes annoyingly a lot of time to make any changes, get approvals, etc. Low-quality of work in many areas. Everything is hard to find (documents, data, etc), because organization if very, very chaotic. Nobody is responsible for anything, and everybody is responsible for everything. Easy to loose track of what's going on and who does what. Computer system is horible, laptops are super slow and break often. Working with union technician is simply a nightmare. The worst experience ever, even if you are a very patient and nice. I would say it reaches level of surrealism sometimes. I just couldn't believe it. Old technologies. If the company doesn't invest in developing new aggressive technologies, it will be taken over by competitors. Highly conservative approach in engineering. Parts are oversized, though robust. A lot of room for technical excellence improvement or at least update/refresh. Salary less than average in the industry.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
