Pros

Your coworkers make the day go by smoothly. Managers allow feedback within department.

Cons

The company has a big problem with showing favoritism. There are so many managers that are not qualified and manage overqualified employees. So many people that are educated and experienced that get looked over. I understand the importance of hiring outside the company but look at your own people first. Another big problem is the lack of communication within the company. The company would save so much money if they were on one comprehensive system. The upper management also is not diverse. No room for growth.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Obviously each hiring situation is different, but all things being equal we always prefer to hire internally over externally. As you point out, this enables us to retain the knowledge and expertise of our employees and it also saves time, money and energy when it comes to getting someone up to speed in a new role--so it's a win/win. But so that we can follow up regarding the things you have mentioned, please consider taking the time to email and share more with us at the Group level at employee.experience@electrolux.com. As a side note: you mentioned that upper management is not diverse, but at least as that pertains to the Group, we have 7 different nationalities represented out of our 12 Group management members. This is quite diverse compared to other multinational companies, and we are very proud of this since it brings multiple perspectives and experiences that benefit the company as a whole. Thanks for your contribution to the company and best of luck in the future.

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, good company with rapid growth, lots of job security, room for individual growth, excellent perks on buying appliances!

Cons

Sometimes insensitive to individual employees, some facilities are managed very poorly, didn't keep promises to employees, even when they were upper management. Poor job of investing in employees.

Thank you for taking the time to review Electrolux and leave your feedback. While we are happy to read the positives you have mentioned, we are strongly displeased to hear that some of our employees may be seen by others as disposable. This is completely against the Electrolux foundational element of respect and diversity where each person is valued for who they are, including the diverse skills and experiences they bring to their teams and the company as a whole. We rely on every employee (and especially those in HR) to be guardians of this belief and act according to it no matter the location. As you know, we have had recent changes in the North American leadership team (including HR) and we expect this thinking and way of treating people to be reinforced so that all employees share the same Electrolux experience throughout the Group. Even though you are no longer with the company, if you feel comfortable, I invite you to share more with us at the Group level at employee.experience@electrolux.com. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
