Pros

The company applies 5S, Kaizens and six sigma for current operations. Kaizens events are good ways to engage all the employees, management and floor operation. The jobs are safe, the company is very conservative on its growth outlook, not getting crazy on economic fads. Management is very professional and approachable.

Cons

It is a very fast manufacturing job. After 2008 the job became crazy. The company wants maximum results with limited resources . The tuition reimbursement program got limited after the recession. Possibilities of promotions and mentoring programs seems to be nonexistent.

Pros

Stable company with broad global reach. Front office jobs not demanding, hybrid schedules and low expectations lead most to be 30-35 hr weeks.

Cons

At first this looks like a positive: you’ll notice that many employees have tenures of 15,20, 30 years. But that leads to a lot of group think and insular behaviors. They actually have a common statement among employees - “you’re not a Freudenberger unless you’ve been here 10 years.” Not exactly a welcoming statement to new employees. If you’d like to have your input and thoughts ignored for a decade, this is the place for you. Convinced they have great technologies, but in market terms, average technology at best. Horrific infighting between divisions. Management meetings resemble Klukluxclan meetings in terms of diversity. Pay scales below market, 401k match very weak
