Pros

Management is flexible if you need time off.

Company-sponsored events and meals.

Employee stock purchase program.

Generous vacation time.

Overtime available.

A fun place to work.

Great coworkers.

Cons

Many of the experienced employees are earning less than the newer employees they're training.

Advancement seems difficult. Many employees who have worked there 20+ years are doing the same thing now that they were doing when they started.

There's a huge disconnect between what management thinks they know and what is happening on the production floor.

Advice to Management

Spend more than 5 minutes a day amongst your employees whose careers you make decisions about.

Identify and develop those employees who are actually there for more than just a job.
