Pros

Basic pros required by german law. Nothing more than that.

Cons

Over time poorly paid (8 hours over time a month won't be paid, any extra than this will be paid 40% of the normal hourly wage). Trainings are only available to project managers. No budget for engineers Trainings. Many unlawful behaviors from the HR and managers who sometimes don't respect the law. Should have a good lawyer or be a member of the union before starting to work there.

Pros

Labinal provides decent benefits. They have decreased raises over the years and are currently not competitive. Nice facility to work in.

Cons

This is a French owned company and very tone deafl to the needs of their employes. They spend a lot of money on "branding" campaigns on employee motivation but there is no substance behind it.

Pros

Shining stars working the trenches to turn out good product against the odds. They have vending machines.

Cons

I have worked for some of the heaviest hitters in the aerospace industry for over 25 years. I lasted a little over a year at Labinal in Sarasota before I left....it was the only time in my career that I walked out on a job. Favoritism, nepotism and managerial incompetence run rampant at this facility and it was, without exception, the absolute worst professional experience in my career. The leadership there would be hard pressed to collectively manage their way out of a wet paper bag. I resolutely applaud those employees who continue to show up every day in spite of the rancid culture. This place had a turnover rate of over 19% in 2015 and there's a very good reason for it.
