Pros

Global company, you will meet a great deal of great people. Compensation is more than fair.

Cons

The company has so much room for improvement, many opportunities but employees don't know how to get to them. Company does not have a hire from within culture. They sit on talent too long, the market is competitive and have lost many to the competition. "Old boys club" type of culture, where there is absolutely NO diversity in upper management. Women don't stand a chance at this organization. Friends hire friends or family members instead of qualified talent.

Pros

120 Hours of PTO per year is nice, *if* you get hired on completely. Working with people of different ethnicity is nice.

Cons

These people LOVE their temp workers and will keep you that way as long as possible. No bonuses, no PTO/Sick time, no benefits. You can be strung along for up up to 3 years before being hired on. Benefits are lackluster at best. Dental especially is a joke. You will NOT get promoted. Lateral movement at best, and if you like stress you can become a team lead/supervisor. Management feels completely disconnected, focused more on their spreadsheets than boots-on-the-ground input from factory workers. Communication between departments and levels of management is almost nonexistent. Yearly bonuses are unfairly weighted to favor upper management with unrealistic expectations for participation. * Overtime/Weekend work not required but an unwritten expectation that WILL negatively impact your reviews and bonus Abysmal raise rates. So many work stoppages due to terrible supplier relationships Major holidays extended, use PTO to fill time or go unpaid. (No help for temps) Things are such a frantic unorganized mess that you can never tell if you are understaffed or overloaded with work volume. Management engagement with employees feels like required lip service more than genuine interest. HR is virtually useless and will defer work back onto the employees Point system for attendance is weighted to pressure employees to be at work even if its dangerous. Staying anonymous because there will be a talking to in the office otherwise. Feeling completely undervalued/replaceable/disrespected.
