Pluspunten

* Extremely stable environment makes for anxiety-free employees. * Large number of expats creates a very dynamic and competitive work environment (a plus) * Very good internal training programs. * Relationships matter * NYC office location is fantastic * Generally the expoused values are lived

Minpunten

* Sr. Management is afraid to cut dead weight . Poor performers are sidelined, but never let go. If you have one on your team, or God forbid above you -> you're screwed * Highly political environment. * Extremely conservative decision making, no one ever takes a risk * Decisions (even small ones) are made at a ridiculously high level. Very much a top-down culture * Bureaucratic. Some processes exist solely for the sake of saying we have a process * When things go wrong, people are extremely quick to finger-point. It's always "who messed up" and not "what can we do to fix it." * People move jobs too quickly and leave a complete mess in their wake (especially Marketing & Supply Chain).

Pluspunten

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Minpunten

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
