      POOR CAREER CHOICE!

      Pros

      Benefits are competitive with region. If you are French, you will have a great opportnuity for advancement. The company still retains a couple of token US employees as "yes men" in senior management roles to act as communicators to the local employees and customers.

      Cons

      Since 2007, senior management initiated a program to replace loyal experienced employees with cheaper lower cost newbies and run the company from France. US employee moral is very low and customer relationships and satisfaction in the US have sunk to extreme lows. Turn over is very high.....
