Pros

Volunteer/ Optional Overtime Rotating 322 schedule Benefits Package 90day wage incentives based on self-driven professional development. Solid Pay to Work Effort Ratio. Documentation and Training provided.

Cons

Support Departments including but not limited to Management, Maintenance and Engineering lacked cross-department incident resolution. Some staff lacked accountability in regards to being both knowledgeable and accountable for their respective work duties. Each Department has an independent understanding of the 'whole picture.' The problem with this is it wasn't holistic / unified across the work environment, and caused unnecessary tension. Noticeable lack of Root Cause Analysis and intermediate problem solving skills from staff when required. Lack of parts in stock, when repairs are needed, sometimes takes 2weeks+ to properly fix critical work equipment. Lack of ownership and follow through. Staff in positions of authority often stated they weren't 'in the know.' On occasion reactive excuses were provided for employee concerns Too much fire-fighting to solve the problem quickly, which often ended up in temporary 'patch' fixes. Sometimes an extra brainstorming session could resolve repetitive errors. Production quality over the last 9 months has decreased by a noticeable amount, while efforts are focused on 'new improvements,' that may or may not be in effect still for another 6-12 months tentatively. Lack of Preventative Maintenance of Business Critical Machinery and Infrastructure. Rotating Day / Nights can be a possible con for some!

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
