Pros

excellent team members and line managers. Staff very skilled and dedicated to their work

Cons

very poor senior global management who seem more interested in office politics and their own bonuses whilst staff are underpaid and underappreciated. Line managers do a very good job but consistently undermined by decisions taken at a global level which are then changed several months later.

Pros

Hours, On-site gym and that's about it..

Cons

Just about everything. This Company is emotionally draining. If you say anything about wanting change or speak up against something you will have rumors spread about you like a wild fire. Lies are told about people from Leads and Main Management and HR. They promote people with little to no experience and favoritism is huge. They would rather promote people who smell and have holes in their clothes then pick someone who tried to make a difference and better the company. Their choices in Leads and process techs are poor. They choose people who are unprofessional and belittle other operators. This company is like a giant succubus they will make you feel worse and worse and steal your positive light until you just go crazy. No wonder the turnover rate is so high. Working there for longer then a year, I have seen first hand how bad this management issue has become over the years. The current management is horrible. They don't care about you or your opinion on things unless it makes them money or its dirty details about someone. They have the Leads tell them everything that goes on, on the floor so they don't have to get off their fat butt and actually get to know their employees. I guess higher management is okay with having someone who cusses at employees and physically hits people with materials in charge. But they fail to realize that the Leads are rude and manipulative. It's sad that someone in their 40s will do such things for a position in such a bad company. Anyone that is doing better then them, they will find a way to sabotage. Pay sucks too. Benefits are decent but you have to pay a lot out of pocket. Word of advice: If by chance you start working there do not try to make a difference. Do not trust anyone because it's not only management that's bad there are a lot of people that work there that are just as bad. If you want to get promoted make sure you send a bunch of emails about fake things other Operators are doing wrong to the Leads so the Leads can run to daddy and tell him all these lies. And prepare to get your nose dirty. Whatever you do. DO NOT SHOW ANY SIGN OF HAVING AN OPINION. May the odds be ever in your favor..
