Pros

Global company, so with the bully CEO out of the picture, there's hope. Now to just rein in all of the 'mini-hims' that are running things elsewhere. Checks don't bounce. Decent coffee in the break rooms.

Cons

Expectations are out of control. Downsized to the point that no one can possibly get their work done with any measure of quality of safety. Benefits getting more and more sparse. Hires management into positions they have no experience in.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
