Pros

Decent benefits Above average pay Very Good PTO Excellent co-workers

Cons

Current CEO (not Mike Hawthorne) is making very questionable decisions about manufacturing locations. Doesn't seem rooted in sound business decisions. Parent company is German and has taken over most of the decision making for the product teams. Everything is about short term profits, leadership is non-existent, especially at the plant level. Promotions are available to an extent, then very hard to breakthrough to management.

Pros

None - all benefits have slowly eroded.

Cons

The CEO, Piotr, is a coward. Four days after having an all employee town hall meeting that lasted 2.5 hours, he has decided to eliminate the hybrid work program (3 days in office, 2 days remote). Instead of standing on the stage and telling us to our face, he decided to pass the buck to lower level directors/managers to share with their teams. Yet another example of the poor leadership that parent company Knorr-Bremse has forced upon Bendix.
