This was a great company to work for at one time.

Pros

Benefits are still very good. Bonuses can be large when performance is high. There have been many opportunities for advancement in the past for employees willing to relocate multiple times.

Cons

Company has become all about cost cutting. Pay has stagnated for many associates. Capital budgets have been slashed and plants can barely keep up basic maintenance. Forced rankings that tie to bonus have been a huge demotivator. Company has adopted a new "one size fits all" approach to running their plants. Bureaucracy is very high in this company. You can't hire a replacement or scrap one drum of material without approval from Germany.

Pros

Dial was a great place to work at one time. Great pay, great people, strong leadership. It is still one of the only global CPG companies in town to get certain experience, and you can learn something there if you play by the German's rules.

Cons

Lack of good leadership, poor employee policies and employee treatment, they lowered the pay and downgraded many of the jobs when they made it a regional hub vs a corporate headquarters. Very tough culture to work in. Okay for junior people that are satisfied doing as they are told with no questions, or for functions that fly under the radar, but otherwise have a very thick skin and be prepared work very hard with little to no appreciation.
