Stuck in old ways

Pros

The company isn’t afraid to throw money at a problem. Bonus and stock options are good

Cons

Many productivity and measurement systems are antiquated and paint an unfair picture on operational metrics that managers are rated against. VPs and division leaders want to solve operation issues from their office in another country without visiting the site to see the issue at ground zero. Arcane policies are handed down from Corporate offices in France with little regard to how the affect operations abroad. Too many VPs, bosses and talking heads putting their 2cents into operations .

Pros

Great environment some co workers tend to help each other. could get personal massages in the Receiving Department chief. On company time. Company parties on site with endless alchohol beverages. Ok by HR Decent pay and benefits

Cons

Some workers always tend to be nosy in whatever you do. But it's ok when they do it. Seniority employees get away with pretty much anything. (Being Late, calling out and dumping overload work to others.) Final Dept uses up company time to be on instant messenger with another employee about non work related subjects and will not get work done. That will most likely fall into a backlog and upper management will question what's the hold up. If placed in"Cross training" best believe it'll be doing work for the receiving dept, might get a brief fast pace training with no actual certification of completion. Receiving dept lack in communication if coming from another department you'll end up doing all the heavy load and will get taken advantage of. (This falls on fresh new employees.) Receiving dept always on personal calls on company time. Hr is not always available in person nor they respond to emails, maybe after a day or two. Favortism Managers and Departments will not back up their coworkers if it means going against a certain employee that has a very close relationship with upper management. (If so your employment will certainly end.) Some workers aren't supposed to be in certain departments which cause distractions and intimidation. Sexual harassment goes unnotice.

Pros

Unfortunately this place is a horror house. Worked here for 9 year and I regret every single day of it. They have no respect towards their employees, and the pay is horrible. Run away

Cons

Everything Management Pay Culture Everything
