Pros

Good benefits. Many good people in non-management positions. Formerly a place where you could expect promotions from within.

Cons

The place is run by sound byte, and it's a personality contest. The only employees given respect are the sales people - of course, senior management have sales backgrounds. It is a gossip-rumor-mill at the most senior level where they act like teenagers, and talk badly about those not in the "in" crowd. Eppendorf is also very top heavy, they have many Managers and directors that do not have direct reports.

Pros

Benefit package was very good, work/life balance was pretty good

Cons

Lack of feedback on how well one is performing his or her job, employee morale wasn't always very good, and the training provided was poor. I was unable to get sufficient feedback despite many requests for help on how to improve my job performance, and was let go without much of a warning or opportunity to improve. The fairness and respect was poor also. I would say the worst aspect of working for Eppendorf was the lack of feedback during training for technicians, and the lack of respect for employees' feelings when handling issues related to job performance. I tried really hard to do well there but had alot of problems due to the lack of feedback that could have helped me to succeed. Eppendorf was a big disappointment in my book.

Pros

Eppendorf Is a well structured business. It Is a Multi-million dollar corporate and it continues to progress and get bigger every year. You are giving all the benefits you need once you are hired directly through Eppendorf. They give you the 401k Retirement Plan, Life, Dental & Health Insurance. It is a good job for someone who is young or someone who just needs the benefits. Besides benefits there are not very other reasons as to why eppendorf manufacturing is a good place to work. It is good for experience if your looking to seek a career in Mold Injection Operating.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Eppendorf are the communication between the managers and the employees. The managers do not seem to care how you are doing they just want the work done. They tell you what to do and that is about as big as the conversation gets. There are very few advancement opportunities for women. They pick between the women and the men and you can easily see that. The men who do a good job get advanced and get to wear blue coats to distinguish that they are better at what they do. The women do not have that opportunity. The women are treated like slaves basically in this situation. They are told what to do and do it no questions asked. On the other hand the men get to choose their jobs and walk around and do nothing alot. The fairness in work is not giving at all. Some people who can't "handle" tough situations stay on the slower machines while others work hard to get recognized and in the long run it doesn't work because every day is just another day and every number of production you make is just another number toward the managements money. That's all they look for, who's making them the most money. But even still that person does not get acknowledged.
