Leadership lacking.

Field service representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good brand name. The job comes with a company car. Working from home is a perk. Customers are fun to meet with.

Cons

Has had annual layoffs the last 5+ years. No opportunity for career advancement. College degree required but starting salary is in the low $30's. Benefits continually being eroded. Cost of living raises in the 1-2% range annually. Management promotion offer was actually less pay than current position. Leadership uses fear as motivational tool. Middle management positions have often been cut/renamed/relocated in the past 5+ years.

Relaxed atmosphere but poor management (industrial Solutions)

Customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A company for women. Flexible on working hours. Lots of opportunities in different countries. Stable environment, not stressful. Compensation and benefits are average. Atmosphere is relaxed. Innovation is not promoted, but it is supported if you are willing to do better, there is plenty of space to be creative and to perform.

Cons

A lot of slackers in the organization, no common targets, customer is the last, ineffective management. People with real potential will not get higher, management is awarding seniority over performance. A lot of leaders have seen just Ge in their working life, resulting in an environment poor of ideas. There is never a responsible if things are going wrong. Leaders are working less than teammates, using home office for unofficial holidays
