Pros

- good benefits - above average vacation/PTO time rewarded - nice facility - weekly giveaways from the purchasing dept - OT is no big deal

Cons

- SUPER LONG LATE HOURS - Favoritism over anyone German or German speaking - Tech: a lot of their equipment breaks down. management of this equipment is handled very poorly. - Pretty much throw you in the fire the day you walk in. Formal training is scarce. They tell you to ask as many questions as you need but it clearly is just a saying. - Costs to park

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
