Pros:
The salary is a little better than average.
A large company is unlikely to go under, though some plants have suspended operations before.
Turnover is high among lower-level employees; after working for half a year, you’ll already be considered a veteran.
Newcomers have to do every dirty job, so you learn things very quickly.
Cons:
Bureaucratic language and a severe internal political culture.
Those who can do the work are worked to death; those who can talk get to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
Most lower-level employees are treated worse than animals, while most middle managers conceal problems from their superiors and nearly all senior management turns a blind eye.
Recommendation: Go in and gain experience for a few years; when you leave, you’ll be practically impervious to anything.
