Pros

There are a multitude of opportunities to learn different things, engage in different functions, etc. The pay is competitive and can be better.

Cons

There is red tape in all organizations and this one is not excluded. Often times managers are forced to be working managers and instead of focusing on the people, they are buried with a heavy workload. Managers are not held accountable for upholding core values or company culture. The executive leadership team places too much trust in the managers who are not trained well.

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.
