Pros

Pay was fair to middling, good emphasis on safety

Cons

Constant reorganisations and redundancies stripping experience and knowledge from the company, seemingly to reduce pension liabilities following the ICI takeover and keep shareholders happy. That worked well but you lost the goodwill of your remaining workforce so that many of the talented people left took off too
