Gardner Denver Reviews

- Owned by private equity firm, so meeting "budget" is a monthly routine and anyone can/will be fired to meeting whatever the shortfall is for that particular month - Unbelievably high executive turnover. A new CEO over year. New CIOs. New VP's/Presidents of divisions. Fired executives. It's a revolving door of C-Level leadership. Every one that comes in is even less in touch with those down the food-chain - Layoffs. Lots of them. Often. It doesn't matter which department you work in you'll be cut. HR and Finance have been gutted. - No Direction. New direction every other month or it changes depending on how the budget is for the month. It's a nightmare. - Cost cutting has made everyone take on the work of the 5 co-workers that lost their jobs. - Europeans basically dictate how the company runs. This isn't a US company other than where the headquarters are located. - Company seems to enjoy closing sites or moving them and then closing something else. It's musical sites. They waste more money building new facilities and then closing them than you can imagine. Open this year, closed the next and everyone is out of a job. Oh, we'll move a site down the road... then close it. Again, everyone loses their job. - Benefits for this global company cost about double as comparable companies. The medical coverage will put you in the poor-house if you ever use it. High deductibles, high premium, and you have to pay 20%.

Management and Head of the department will treat you as a slave, they will use you as per their convenience.
