Pros

The culture of the company really resonates with me. Working in HR, for me its critical that the company cares about its people and I truly think the caring value really comes to life, and I have experienced the same having worked across different teams and countries. There are also a lot of opportunities for development and growth especially if you are open to move to other countries or move cross-functionally

Cons

In some areas of the business, including HR, we have very lean teams so several teams are overwhelmed with workload Being a matrixed organization sometimes decision making is not very clear and people in different teams or locations own different parts of a process which can take time or represent administrative burden

Pros

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
