Pros

Relatively good benefits. Co-workers are really good people, in general. Nice setting in Rocky Hill. Some departments allow telecommuting once a week as a way to help employees manage high workloads.

Cons

Extremely short term strategies to please the analysts to the clear detriment of long term strategies. Mothership is in Duesseldorf, Germany, meaning top down management, huge bureaucracy. Extremely political at upper management levels. Quality managers don't succeed at upper levels, aggressive individuals and bullies do.

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
