IBA reviews

Benefits are not at all up-to-par with other companies. You pay the majority of health insurance costs and all of the dental/vision cost. Raises are, likewise, sub-par with many employees ranking "good" only getting a 1% raise. Ambition is not valued and Belgian HR discourages Americans from applying for R&D positions. No real opportunity for growth within the company. Management works 9am to 6pm, when we're operational from 7am to 11pm (and required to do maintenance on third shift). They're critical of anything that occurs outside of their working hours.

Raises don't keep up, health benefits are average, new equipment can be a nightmare to install. In example, every part I received from Headquarters was damaged on arrival. Meaning the part has to be fixed before it can be used to fix what it was sent for. Little advancement potential, literally go from being in the trenches to in charge of everything, if you positioned yourself for the jump to management.
