      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Adequate wages, global presence, huge market presence in food processing.

      Cons

      Management all recently centralized in Germany. Benefits are cut to benefit the quarterly financial statements, poor communication internally, almost impossible to get anything accomplished -- terrible teamwork.

      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

      There are some truly great people still left at GEA. The benefits are good with an above-par 401K match. Lots of flexibility and a decent amount of vacation time.

      Cons

      Top heavy management that keeps getting shuffled around. Outside of Germany there is no longer much room to advance and it frequently feels as though non-Germans are treated as second class citizens. While they do promote from within, this is done almost exclusively by nomination which limits both the possible qualified candidates and means that those looking to expand into different roles are unable to do so.
