Pros

Colleagues would be the only one

Cons

- Malicious Management who don't care about their Employees - Low wages - No training - No Performance Management which means you get paid the same amount as someone who can't do it without making multiple mistakes. - Lack of resources to do your job and department heads very disorganised. - External Payroll company who don't respond.

Pros

If you're lucky enough to work longer than three weeks you may be able to sort through the mass disorganisation.

Cons

In my case many...I was let go after three weeks on the job after HQ advised the local branch (Australia) that I did not have the relevant experience for the role. This is after serval interviews and a notice period! In addition from the very beginning it was extremely disorganised from a product development stance, not even a spreadsheet mapping current projects let alone ROI's, market analysis ECT. As far as I can tell Franke are trading off name alone and have long forgotten the principles that have sustained them initially.

Pros

Family environment, all of the 'lower-level' employees are very friendly and we all get along. I've made several friends here. Franke does hire good people down here at the bottom. Pay is decent. We've gotten a 2.5% cost of living pay increase each of the 5 years I've been here. Facility is nice, has a decent gym, on-site health care. Decent benefits.

Cons

Basically, you will stay in the position you get hired for. You may move one rung up the ladder, but only if the person at that rung leaves. You do not get pay raises unless your position changes. Training (or lack thereof) is a joke. They fired 16 tenured people at the drop of hat with no notice. Terminated an entire department and put all of that department's responsibilities on other employees, with no additional pay for those employees. The benefits when I started were great, though each year they slowly get worse. Deductibles DOUBLED from 2014, specialist co-pay went from $30 to $50. Pay (for the positions I've been in) are at the LOWEST range as compared to regional average for the same positions.
