Pros

Great Benefits along with working with wonderful people that care about the work that they do.

Cons

Since most of the company is based out of Germany, there's a big difference on how things are done between there and here. Also the pay rates are on the lower side of the industry.

Pros

Friendly environment. OK place to work and learn for entry level. Did not experience a lot of growth. However, some find it an Ok place to grow if you work for the right department.

Cons

The company seems to still be looking for some direction departmental wise. The traditional work hard and let the numbers and your efforts represent you does not exist. You have to put on a perception act to have management's attention and ultimately move forward the ladder.

Cons

- European based most investment outside of United States or other developing countries which in the long term could hamper growth in the United States due to lack of updated the plants, equipment, even the offices - tends to be beurocratic
