Pros

Was stable before reorganizing

Cons

Going in wrong direction. Can't even effectively pay their bills. Not because of money, because of outsourcing to Asia.

Thank you for your review. We are still adjusting from the restructuring. We believe that the restructuring will create a more positive future at GEA. We are sorry that you feel that we have lost customer focus. Coming from a management position yourself, we rely on our managers to create good customer relationships. Thank you again for the feedback. We appreciate all reviews. Demile Robinson Gilmore Vice President, Human Resources North America and Latin America

Pros

They seemed to be attempting to pull things together.

Cons

They were very unorganized. They were trying to restructure and downsize at the time I was there. I don't know how it turned out.

Thank you for taking the time to write the review. As you stated, we have been going through a large restructure. The restructured requires merging many legacy practices, systems, and procedures together. Many companies have taken similar steps and while we want to see immediate results, it takes time to implement and adjust. We are committed to the restructure and the positive changes it brings to the organization. In the longer term, we will be better for the steps we are making today. Thank you again for the feedback – your feedback will help GEA grow. Good luck in your future endeavors. Demile Robinson Gilmore Vice President, Human Resources North America and Latin America
