Pros

Free snacks and get to come in on weekends for overtime

Cons

This company does not encourage growth and tries to prevent employees from moving upward. Starting pay is very low and there is only at max a 3% pay increase every couple of years. Work conditions are not clean and sanitary. Most employees do not wear gloves while working with dangerous chemicals and goes around touching desks and keyboards without cleaning afterwards. A lot of employees have gotten hand injuries from repeatedly doing the same thing over and over under pressure. Supervisors do not care about your well being.

Pros

-Major emphasis on using data to help salespeople -Major emphasis on training -Good direct management who have been salespeople in the past -Generally collaborative culture and team environment -Benefits are good -Better than average pay for entry-level salespeople

Cons

-Completely different territory structure every year. Not just different territories, like size swings of 10-fold for one year to the next all due to decisions from management -Completely inconsistent targets -Extended delays for commission payments -Extended delays for sales target setting and communication -8 levels of middle managers between leadership in Germany and employees in the US -Severely inconsistent or non-existent marketing support -Contradictory, inconsistent directives/ policies on everything due to integration and too many middle-managers -Integration sickness between Millipore and Sigma employees: instead of choosing the best system/process to use from the legacy organizations, we use all systems and processes until it breaks then create new processes that are worse than either previous system/process (caveat: data systems are improving) -Essentially working at a NEW multibillion-dollar global conglomerate with top-down leadership instead of regionalized autonomy

Pros

Good pay, good company, opportunities to advance unless your a motivated hard worker in shipping! Fired for being good at your job!

Cons

Never missed a single day and never messed up an order and found many receiving errors but still fired for 3 of the most B.S. reasons I've ever heard! 1) Being too helpful - seriously! 2) Using too much ice! Job description pack item into box fill with ice! So how do you use too much?!? 3) talked to much - that one is the best cause I was the odd man out, a white guy who didn't mind rolling up the sleeves and getting to work!
