Pros
I really enjoyed working with people in the offices. You can’t beat a free lunch everyday if you work at the plants (Forest park and Bellwood) only. The dress code jeans every day at the plant.
Cons
- Private equity owned - No room for advancement unless if you are a Catterton or liked by the group. - Literally no one understands one person's job function other than a select few. - Chases EBITA. Thats all that matters. - Little to no on boarding, you come off the bench your first day. - Upper management goes back on their decisions too many times because nobody wants to stick their necks out and just make a decision. - zero process towards commercialization of projects from start to finish, everyone and groups are on their own page. - Every plant is against each other and vice versa with people who sit at the Tower in OBT. - Constant finger pointing on a day to day basis. - Warehouse inventory control is non-existent. - The software systems (SAP) values are completely incorrect from packaging to raw materials to make product. - Zero work life balance. If an issue arises on the weekend or past 5pm it’s in your best interest to respond. - If you come from a structured environment, please do yourself a favor and stay
