      Pros

      Great pay for the location (Central Illinois), good opportunities to move up - high performers are noticed and rewarded. I have had a good experience overall with moving up and being rewarded. Also a lot of opportunity (in good times) to move around the country and world... both in travel and in relocation.

      Cons

      Low performers hang around and get away with doing nothing. This has an adverse effect on the rest of the employees, as well, as they end up picking up the slack and seeing nothing get done to right the problems. There is a serious issue with communication in the high-to-mid management levels - the very top (VP and CEO) and bottom (line supervisors) do a great job.
