Pros

Great people to work with, accelerate within the industry with great OJT and hands on training

Cons

Too much favoritism, get skipped for promotions and raises constantly. The management will destroy your moral, if you are not within the "inner circles" the people on the inside get special tasks, promotions, raises, and highest percentage bonuses. This place is good to get your foot in to the door. Once you feel you have learned enough go elsewhere where you will be valued better, and treated fairly because of your work ethic, and job performance, and not because you buy someone beer and take them out to dinner

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.
