Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers were great for the most part. Pay is fair. Benefits are exceptional.

Cons

Too many people are given "management" type roles. All decisions required numerous approvals which end up costing the company money in the end due to loss of sales. Way too many meetings. We would have meetings about the meetings that we were going to have!

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Well known brand. Opportunity for new hires to gain experience quickly. Great coworkers.

Cons

Dysfunctional work environment. Global senior leaders manage to stock price, forcing initiatives into each business and region that are disconnected from local strategic conditions, and then force restructures every 6 months when numbers erode. Struggle to innovate, except through acquisition. Very little personal growth potential. A very high degree of nepotism and elitism in senior management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Insurance benefits are good.

Cons

Regional and global management have no idea what it takes to run a plant. Lack of capital and resources. Go against the improvement of safety, quality and productivity of the manufacturing. They want to hit their numbers regardless. They have no idea of what sacrifices that their employees at the manufacturing sites endure. No experience or leadership in regional and global management. ITS A JOKE !
