Pros
A good place to get training in the ornamental plant industry. Company travel to international locations. Good beginning learning opportunity.
Cons
Management is very entrenched in a 'knowledge is power' and political gamesmanship mentality. Human resources is solidly behind upper management to the detriment of lower level employees. Depending on whom you interact with in the company due to your role, one can interact with some very caustic and toxic individuals. As others have stated, very little opportunity for career advancement. Hard work is not rewarded/valued and is quickly forgotten... a 'what have you done for me lately' environment. Politics is king at Ball; those that play the game the best rise into management positions.
