Pros

The organization expects you to preform and employees are given a good degree of responsibility early on. Prsents the opportunity to learn and develop skills in the one area you work in. The company is very diversified in product production and is constantly growing and reorganizing to adapt to market changes. Salaries are below the industry average and raises are based on a faulty review system.

Cons

Although the organization is a Fortune 28 company, they have a number of internal struggles. Including promoting leaders who do not possess leadership skills. Often, promotions are based on who is wearing your T-shirt, who you know and who is in the private meeting to speak on your behalf. The company is good at what they do but suffer from being a bit arrogant in their relationships. There is a lack of commitment to diversity and inclusion. Leaders are not committed to true development of the general population of employees. They prefer to hand pick those whom they believe deserve to be developed. Others are left in the cold wondering why they were left off the list.

Pros

This company is a little more stable from layoffs than most. No union at certain plants which could be a pro or con.

Cons

Mediocre treatment of employees at best, they do the bare minimum to stay under the radar. Nepotism is rampant in the workplace, you have to be good friends or family with management to move up. If they don’t like you for any reason, they’ll “find” ways to get rid of you. You have to fake it to make it here which has turned into a very toxic work environment. No profit sharing. No bonuses for hourly employees. Meeting and exceeding production goals is rewarded with pizza parties when the company is profitting billions. Silly performance reviews with subjects like “clock watching” but they don’t want you clocking in early, staying late or taking too long a break and want you going to break at specific times which force you to keep an eye on the clock. An easy way for them to give you bad reviews to have documentation of “poor work performance” which hurt your chances for promotion and make it easier to fire you if the need arises for them. If you complain about anything they will investigate themselves much like a corrupt police department and find they did nothing wrong. They will retaliate tactfully as to not get in trouble. Department of Labor won’t help as going up against a multi billion dollar corporation isn’t worth their time. You are not rewarded for going above and beyond, in fact it is often ridiculed and looked down upon. They want you to almost be a robot. Annual pay increases are meager, only enough to cover increased medical premiums, nothing more for inflation and or cost of living. Literally you will get a 2.5% annual pay increase and your premium increases 2.5%.
