Pros

The people that you work side by side with each day work very hard at trying to make the place once again profitable.

Cons

The company is almost bankrupt. They are millions in the hole, this is public information provided by the company in weekly staff meetings. BFUSA management changes policies each day. The production floor is worked like a sweatshop, and management pushes them each day or they are gone. The insurance is horribly expensive and worthless. They switched insurance carriers and employees now have issues getting their claims paid. Promotions or raises are not aligned with the position requirements. Employee turnover is very high. Be prepared for a lot of back stabbing and two-faced personalities.

Pros

A strong brand name so well recognized in the industry if doing sales A good selection of high quality products Global Footprint

Cons

History of staff being nice to your face but not to your back. HR looks out for itself then the staff Has undergone major changes in the last few years and retrenchments have been the norm and therefore workplace toxisity has increased In South Africa diversity is not embraced and a very Afrikaans focussed environment and recruitment slant despite them shouting about their BEE status from the rooftop

Dismal Employment

Pros

You get to meet and work with 'SOME' amazing people in the office. The work-life balance is cool.

Cons

A few dismal Managers, with zero managerial experience, ethical regard, or respect for the hard workers that get the job done. They are power hungry, and your hard work will feed their ego's, and promote them and make them look good in front of the 'CEO' of Praesidiad. You receive no motivation or recognition. Do not expect career growth opportunities, there isn't any, they do not believe in that. Do not expect advances in your salary, there are to many excuses. There is no office culture. No social events. no team building events. Employee retention is pathetic. And this is not just in ONE department or ONE branch... its across the board on a global scale.
