      A dysfunctional "Family Company"

      Pros

      As a former employee of more than 10 years I was proud to be a part of the organization at least for the first 7 years. The company culture was supportive, relationship based, strong ethical values and beliefs that included employee benefits, work-live balance and profit sharing.

      Cons

      The last 3 years the company has gone through significant transformation in my opinion for the strengthening of profits. Plant closures, relocation of work force from the US to lower paying Asian and South American shared service centers. Large workforce reductions and outsourcing of labor which prior to the current CEO never occurred at this company, even during the depression era. Vast amounts of knowledge walking out the door, either by choice or not for other opportunities with good companies. The "transformation" of the company creating an almost hostile and corrosive culture and not one I would work in long term. Work-life balance went out the door as well with the expectation of US resources to work and be available 24/7 to support the less flexible other global regions.

      Might be great place to work but certain things are definitely missing

      Pros

      Nice people feels like a community. Managers are willing to put effort in and help you grow and learn

      Cons

      SALARY: Apparently the year-end review and increase is based on performance but even if you go out of your way it doesn’t make much difference. It tops at 4% so basically the value your taking home usually decreases year by year. You need to beg for extra increase or get promoted to a higher grade. (As Sideway moves don’t come with increase, just be thankful for the opportunity) WORKLOAD: is high due to the LEAN structure but in the same time this gives you more opportunity for personal growth FLEXIBILITY: 1 day working from home, flexible start times, short Fridays. This was a great benefit before pandemic however this is clearly not enough nowadays and shows how the company doesn’t consider the market trend. This is the main reason people leave the company alongside with the below the average salaries.
