      GEA is performing on the back of their employees

      Pros

      Even during the worst economic periods in the global markets GEA proved to be a healthy company

      Cons

      GEA is healthy on the back of their employees The lean structure after the reorganization gives you no career opportunities Global Leaderhip does not care about employees American Leadership is incompetent - no real leadership existent The own GEA values are being treated like garbage. Literally nobody lives them. GEA canceled health insurance for one location and forced the employees to go on Obama Care. They are paying an allowance but that doesn't cover the current political tris to kill Obamacare. Yet they are not even considering to put us back on a company plan.

      Thank you for the feedback, we are glad you had a positive experience working at GEA. As you know, GEA has many product lines and functions – it is unfortunate that you were not able to find an area that challenged your interests more. At GEA, we are always trying to create new and exciting opportunities for employees within the company and consider your feedback an indication of where we need to focus and improve. Perhaps you will consider other areas within GEA for future employment opportunities. Demile Robinson Gilmore Vice President, Human Resources North America and Latin America
