Pros

Great supportive working environment, with smart, friendly people. Chance to work on great brands. Good work life balance, with not a lot of pressure on face time. Great benefits: central location, in house gym, doctor, 25 days holiday..etc Lovely to work for a company that wants to make the world a better place! USLP is inspiring.

Cons

Every 2 years there was a new company structure. After the failed KH take over bid, moved towards more of a cost cutting culture. Very little room to advance. You could wait YEARS for someone to leave in order to even apply for a higher up position.

Pros

It is a large company with a record of 3 years without a recordable injury. Occasionally feeds the employees

Cons

The biggest issue with this plant and it invades every aspect of the company is a complete lack of ability to properly communicate information. The applies internal to departments, across departments and up and down. They have the technology to do it, just not the organization. Company could probably use much more Engineering organization.
