Pros

People are right to point out that the pay is usually okay, but the US investment has been a complete sinkhole so don't expect a raise for several years.

Cons

Where to begin? They've hired managers who are not only arrogant and rude, but deeply incompetent about their jobs. But countless employees got blamed for the mistakes of the managers, which has led to the disastrous turnover rate in the last year that they've tried to hire people. There were multiple incidents of sexual harassment brought to HR, but the company is so desperate to figure out their business strategy that they won't fire any of the managers, they can get away with anything. And if you think there's any chance to justify a job here by getting work experience, think again. They do not train *anyone* on how to do their jobs. They came to the US assuming they could apply a One-Size-Fits-All business model imported from the European markets, but they're finding out they are woefully unequipped to gain any market share here with that strategy. You'll be asked to spend countless hours on the phone with people in Austria to figure out how to do your job, except its virtually impossible when there is a 7 hour time zone difference. Pretty much everyone working in the office pods in the Lexington construction site is looking for a new job. It's a sinking ship, and everyone is looking to get out. Trust me, you'd rather work anywhere else.

Pros

Outstanding company to start a career in Controlling, Managerial Accounting or Business analysis. There are opportunities to get experience in financial planning / budgeting, financial and business analysis, reporting, business optimization projects and many other fields. Great possibilities to understand all key processes of the modern production company (and also challenges in these areas): raw materials purchasing, production, goods storing, sales, etc. Besides you will become a proficient SAP user. You will communicate a lot with the specialists, department heads, plant management, group controlling. Colleagues, Group Controlling, management are great and always ready to help. The process of getting into profession is smooth and there is always a lot of support. Working atmosphere is pretty relaxed. Office people are generally very friendly. Work/Life balance is extremely good: at 5-6 p.m. there are barely any people in the office.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities are very moderate.

Pros

A few years ago they were handing out fair salaries, but they've been losing so much money on the US construction site that they've been desperately trying to hire the cheapest possible labor force.

Cons

Absolutely don't work here--this is likely the worst employer anywhere near the area. You can tell from the recent 5 star reviews on here that they are not only written by management, but they have literally no respect for the employees. This company imported virtually all of the management positions over from Europe, and they have not been able to get along with the American employees at all. You can feel the tension in the office every single day, and it only got worse over time. Well over a dozen people have either quit or been fired just in the past two months, and nearly everyone I worked with (including several of the bosses!) complained about needing to find a new job every day. If you think you can somehow make the job work for the work experience--think again. The managers had literally no market strategy for the entirety of my position, and they will expect you to project manage dozens upon dozens of employees based out of Europe to get work done because they have no money to hire more local skilled labor. If somehow you still aren't convinced? You should strongly consider looking up former employees who list EGGER as their employer on LinkedIn and send them a direct message. There is a 100% chance they will tell you to stay away from the company, because we were all miserable while we worked there! Do yourself a favor and go find anywhere else to go work.
