Pluspunten

Good salary, benefits. Knowledgeable and supportive colleagues to work with on a local level.

Minpunten

Lack of local decision making authority, decisions made in Germany and mandated for other locations. Work/life balance is stated but not practiced. People are a number or email address and dispensable based on company performance. No real leadership, there are followers of others because of authority, not because of loyalty. If there is a true understanding of the company it is easy to determine that the daily work does not support a meaningful cause.

Pluspunten

Pay is good, bonuses are low, benefits have decreased every year Lunch in cafeteria is great Shift relief time was good, had enough time after work to be with family We sure miss Bonnie out there , she’s great.

Minpunten

Micromanaging - Extreme lack of trust Overall morale for the whole site is way down starting from 2018 Bias Backstabbing Incompetency - certain employees promoted to next level without actually knowing or understanding the process No work life balance, we’re told that doesn’t apply to production workers. Overtime hours avg 400-700 hours a year No room for employee growth or thoughts on process productivity/troubleshooting acknowledged if you’re not in the clique 3-2-2-3 shift schedule swapping from nights to day each time led to overall fatigue. Needs to be 2 weeks of nights and 2 weeks of days. HR is an overall joke, they used to be superb until COVID and the new site manager. Preach safety but turn a blind eye when it’s convenient to reach production. Then fault the operators or maintenance personnel if something happens.
