HORRIBLE!!! The USA gea division is on a bad downward spiral.

Business Outlook

Pros

The only positive is that this company will throw a lot of money at you to make up for losing your mental sanity and never seeing your family.

Cons

The USA organization does not care about its employees, health and safety, machine quality, or even making sure the customers are happy. Just sell the machine and don’t ask any questions. Many employees get hurt every day because the company does not take safety seriously and will even discourage safety reporting to focus more efforts on sales. If you are not applying for a sales role you will be treated like garbage and looked at as a “cost” rather than a real person. There is ZERO work life balance and employees are forced to work many hours to make up for the “fixed headcount” restrictions for each department. Do yourself a huge favor and do not join GEA USA, you will regret it.
