Pros: You will learn some very good engineering skills.

Cons: Unreasonable work-life balance. Hostile work environment. Pettiness, vindictiveness, and nepotism are all rampant and remain rampant to this day.

Pros: Good company, still makes a lot of money.

Cons: Exciting and boring for a long time.

Pros: There are a lot of options to move to different departments across a wide variety of different careers without leaving a single company.

Cons: Working as a salaried employee in a manufacturing role is soul-crushing. The expectation of being on call (and you will be called non-stop) 24/7 for years on end with no compensation lies ahead if you choose this career path. The only other area of concern is the inability to do what is right. There is an umbrella of upper middle managers at the non-development sites that are neither technical nor leaders. It has created a culture of managing metrics, no matter how ridiculous and pointless the metric. As long as the daily report is green, then expect an email with a dancing Snoopy saying "great work," and if it is red, a frowning emoji saying "there's opportunity." You spend your day making sure unfavorable data is deleted or subverted so the management chain through the emoji master doesn't freak out.
