Pros

good pay and good benefits. Co-workers were like family!

Cons

Management does not care about people in the field. More worried about labor cost than employee wellbeing. Mandatory review curve, 5% have to be on the bottom. Pay raises average 2% which is not up to the industry standard. Many people leaving company because of pay and lack of job satisfaction.

Pros

This is a company with a great future and overall many smart and talented work colleagues.

Cons

There are pockets of poorly managed teams and the Global Sourcing and Procurement Team is one of them. Working for GSP was a soul crushing experience. On a regular basis, I witnessed and experienced mobbing, gaslighting, bullying, senior leaders retaliating and weaponizing the 360 feedback program for their own personal gain, senior leaders taking credit for other peoples work, long tenured leaders abusing their relationships within HR, regular staff crying and people admitting to seeking professional help due to the toxic work environment…ptsd in GSP is real. And to top it off, Applied’s most senior leadership have known of these issues for years.
