Poor Management

Pros

There really are some stellar people at this company. The products are interesting and it's fascinating to see and learn how things that you consume everyday are produced.

Cons

The management team needs to wake up or just go! It's clear that the Executive Leadership team is dysfunctional and doesn't get along. The tension trickles down to the teams. In addition, it's very much an "ivory tower" culture. Those at the top don't deign to interact with those in the trenches, and if they do, it's certainly not genuine.

Nice place with a few big problems

Pros

Pretty good pay, nice people, opportunities for advancement if someone carries you. Opportunities for international work. Best of both worlds: big company resources, small company cross-functionality and experience.

Cons

Few opportunities for career growth unless you are ex-military and have supply chain experience. The company is in love with ex-military personnel for some reason regardless of how poorly they perform, NA sales and performance shows this. Manufacturing safety is a recent escalating problem. In an effort to cut costs low experience or unqualified supervisors are being hired and in turn number of incidents have gone up. Same is true for operators and technicians, who are hired from the entry level general population vs workers that have technical experience (and require a higher pay). This also results in huge turnaround in manufacturing and any advanced technical procedures are quickly lost.

Pros

Very clean. Great co workers. Decent pay. In house gym. Good benefits. State of the art facility.

Cons

Wrong people get managerial positions. Wrong changes to job made by people who don't know about it. Supervisors use fear and intimidation to get their employees in line. Voices aren't heard.
