Vantaggi
The benefits are great. Really hit or miss amongst good and bad management; but most are flexible. Unlimited overtime. Literally. Okay tuition reimbursement.
Svantaggi
No real work-life balance. Lots of overtime all the time including mandatory Saturday and Sunday shifts. You will work 30-40 Saturdays and 5-10 Sundays a year. The company has gone through a number of reformations in the last few years and the result is that it is simply not a great employer to work for any longer. You are simply a number. The company views its employees as a cost rather than an asset and this comes from the upper management on down. Despite claims to be open-door, the company is hardly that with a top-down management structure that punishes any sort of disagreement or differing opinion. While the benefits are extremely good, don't expect great pay or wage increases; the company views you as ultimately replaceable. If you want to build your career, there are literally no opportunities within the company. They have locked down staffing increases and cut wherever possible. Nepotism is rife.
