Pros

This company had a great outlook, terrific teamwork, above average salary, many 15yr+ employees, excellent benefits, quality products.

Cons

That is until they changed Plant management. Mass exodus of the long term employees, many positions have been left open "as long as the job gets done", moral went down the drain, profits have dropped due to terrible organisation/overworked staff, and no one gets hired that would threaten management's position. Mid management is reserved for friends, not the best qualified.

Pros

Nothing anymore. Everything has been taken away from the employees.

Cons

No work life balance. Excessive micromanaging at every level and department. Extremely heavy workload and excessive travel. Employees are miserable and everyone is tense. The amount of pressure coming from the Executive Board is unbearable. They are driving the company into the ground and ruining employee’s livelihood. Major parts delivery and availability issues for years and getting worse. New equipment delivery are always late and they make us lie to customers. Bonus structure is not achievable no matter how hard you work, in fact…you are getting punished for your efforts. Terrible annual reviews for everyone. No room advancement no matter how well you do unless you are friends with the German Executives. People are put in positions they don’t have the qualifications for or experience. Don’t come to work here, it continues to get worse every day.
