Pros

- occasional team activities (Christmas party, family day) - valuable and knowledgeable people here and there whom you can learn a lot from - good equipment and high-tech environment - multinational company - good health and safety measures

Cons

- (local) management is stuck in fearing for their positions, seriously dismissing recognition of talent and often discouraging promotions of smart and valuable people - creativity is looked down on in daily work - no means of improving connections with foreign employees - any communication between departments during shifts are discouraged if not entirely related to current task - highly monotonous work under huge pressure - working shifts and weekends are exhausting and there are no extra vacation days for compensation - very limited or no training opportunities - professional and promotional decisions are regularly affected by personal relations instead of recognition of hard work and dedication

Pros

Very good benefits and compensation. Very positive improvements in recent years. Great people to work with in Carthage. Come see for yourself!

Cons

Fast paced - if that can be a con. It isn't for everyone but it you are smart and have a good work ethic goods things can and will happen.
