Pros

The perks such as lunches, and some great people outside of my department. Opportunities to grow if liked well enough. Great education reimbursement.

Cons

Management never seemed to know what was going on at the floor. Negative mindset and some bad attitudes. There needs to be more code of conduct training with men towards ladies

Pros

Team of smart, ethical people, trying to do the right thing and provide good value to customers. Very concerned about treating employees, customers, and vendors fairly. Higher management levels have occasional opportunity for overseas travel (company is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium).

Cons

As a mostly commodity-focused organization, they are rightly focused on keeping costs low, so not a lot of extra "perks" (however, 401K plan is pretty outstanding, especially for longer-term employees). There are many people who have been there for 10+ years, which indicates good employee loyalty, but can also mean somewhat reduced opportunity for advancement for new-ish hires.
