Pros
I have worked at plant level and corporate office over last 3 years: Corporate office is comfortable. Benefits are great. Additional $10/mo deducted to utilize really nice gym facilities on Dearborn campus or at corporate office if you choose. Fun summer activities to get involved with - softball, volleyball, etc. in McConnell Park. Safety does always come first - but sometimes can be taken too far, pending who your EH&S rep is. Personally, I have a wonderful manager. Needing time off for emergencies is never an issue. You put in honest work for honest pay and you get rewarded. It's pretty simple. I am confident that corporate life and manufacturing are not my end goal in this life, but I am comfortable here and have great friends.
Cons
Boys' Club 100% - if you are one of those people looking to climb a corporate ladder you will absolutely need to be a male, love golf, and have strong opinions on OSU football or just have played OSU football in your past life. Pending what division and/or business unit you are in - things tend to become very political, as expected in corporations. Transformation rules everything. EVERYTHING. Literally everything. I have worked with HR reps that I trust. I don't feel that way here.
