Pros

This company has lots of interesting jobs and if you do your job well they will give you as much responsibility as you want. Global and challenging environment. I would recommend to anyone.

Cons

Pays below the average. Not too much training is given, learn as you go mentality. Can be demanding to figure it out by yourself without too much support. Everyone is too busy to do things properly or even sometimes even too busy to discuss business related matters.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
