      A very challenging, fast-paced and high demand place to work.

      Pros

      Once and if you get your foot in the door, the company offers a lot of upward mobility. Very good benefits.

      Cons

      The company tries to do too much with too little; not enough tooling, not enough support (lack of supervisors and planners), taking "lean" to the extreme, not enough parts on-hand to accomodate deadline goals, too little head-count (constantly working OT during the week and weekends). Departments do not work together; too much animosity between them. The US plant has to depend on France to provide parts which don't always come in on a timely basis. Way too much time spent on filling out spreadsheets to repor numbers daily. Too many reporting/tracking systems to keep up with.

      Pros

      They listen to their employees; every year after the internal satisfaction survey a lot of initiatives are created in order to improve.

      Cons

      We are always running; sometimes we run too fast and it is really hard to catch up, some may get the impression that we only have time for the urgent work and not the important one

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great products, good customer relations, many good people within the organization devoted to company and quality products. Good benefits and employee bonus structure. The French have a good sense of people and personal life (better than some USA companies).

      Cons

      Top management (local) too dependant on single individual opinion for general company operations. Not enough local autonomy. Dictates made from parent company limit local company inovation.
