Pros

Colleagues mostly nice, that’s about it, very unfortunately. Salary is ok, as well as the healthcare fund for blue collar.

Cons

Crazy micro-managing, all departments basically in their own silos, no communication, very little cross-department co-op. Tools and processes mostly outdated. No commitment, apart from the middle-management that’s been in the company for 20+ years. Very chaotic everywhere you go, most of the production workers looking for another job, only thing keeping them is the salary. Basically all young people from blue/white collars leave in few years. No real possibilities to build a career, unless you are a native italian speaker or come from the graduate-program. Best decision of my life to leave the company.

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.
