Pros

4 10-hour shifts, overtime available up to 60 hours

Cons

Extremely asymmetrical expectations- you could be chewed out for having non-work related conversations while staff in another department 30 feet away are on their phones all day. DO NOT agree to work on UES flow line first shift, you will be expected to pick up everyone else’s slack

Pros

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Cons

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
