Pros

Decen pay and benefits, and PTO allotment.

Cons

Upper level management do not care about employees and will tell you this. Your ideas are not wanted or asked for. No work/home life balance even while on vacation you are still expected to answer the phone. One particular GM ran his people on fear, and you never knew which person you would get from day to day, and you would come to work wondering if it would be your last day. They hold managers accountable for all injuries and take bonuses away due to injuries but would not let you fix safety issues because of money and also not enough man power to even do the normal every day work load. Upper management are pricing the company right out of buissness in the area and continue to loose long time customers everyday.

Pros

I think if you are a new graduate and are willing to live where ever, the opportunities at Cemex are endless. You can move into different areas if you are interested and willing to relocate. Also if you want to experience other countries, this would be available.

Cons

1) When senior management wants something "now", they don't care if it means a lot of overtime or time away from families. You can be compensated monitarily, but you will be worked hard for it. 2) Not a lot of communication from management down. 3) Work/Life balance is not as depicted on website.

Pros

Other than a position to put on a resume, there aren't many pros.

Cons

Plain and simple, the company takes advantage of its people. Their push for higher efficiencies and production take precedence over the health and happiness of their employees. A practical work-life balance is not achievable with this company and their current push of upper management from Mexico. The culture they have created is focus only on processes (improving production) and not the people who make that possible. Bonuses at the plant are based upon success of the plant's metrics, but if the company decides to be cheap in improvements, then achieving those metrics are impossible and bonuses for employees are laughable.
