Pros

I joined as an A&T (admins&technicians) so my review is from that PoV. - Real responsibility from day 1 - Great learning opportunities at all levels, at all assignments. - Smart people to work with - You can peak into lot of areas - Some outstanding low and mid managers both in people management skills and in business/technical knowledge

Cons

- Work/life balance is close to be non-existent - as an A&T, 'looking out of the box' is hard due to the workload in one concentrated area - starting salary below the regional average for the job, it gets better if you get your raises the way they promised (much dependent on your manager) - promotions depend too much on your immediate manager - so your salary path can become quite flat - there's a 'glass ceiling' between the managers and the A&Ts, getting promoted to manager level takes at least 5 years regardless of your talent or abilities, yet you can have a fresh graduate with zero experience and Supply Network knowledge presented as your next manager - or worse, you can get one from a completely different area with zero former experience/studies in the field of SN. SN managers are rarely promoted from within. - limited number of interesting A&T jobs to choose from for rotation - usually way understaffed, driving a tremendous number of overtime hours, uncompensated but required, which leads to big fluctuation

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
