Lots of "Management" instead of "Leadership...!"

Pros

Very good area for family life and many "country living" activities close-by. One of a very few 'technical' companies in area. Many good people doing their best to make things work on ground level.

Cons

Huge workload and little support. Surprises/chaos and fire-fighting part of "culture"! Management team feedback ineffective - does not translate to worker level concerns/language. Worker morale is low in my view and management actions to enhance it is superficial. Much is dictated from head office in France - typical international group culture.

Pros

A lot of great people. Decent benefits, and a pension (a rarity nowadays), share offerings, and profit sharing for permanent employees (during good times).

Cons

Extremely poor management (Sr and Intermediate levels), zero trust, nonexistent change management, no accountability structure, no capital investment (facilities, technology, or neccessary manufacturing equipment), and almost no opportunity for advancement without leaving the site.

Pros

The people are nice. Very good health, dental and glasses benefits. Company will add 60% to stock purchased after 5 year hold. Social club and small events held on regular basis.

Cons

High turn over. Unorganized. Scheduling is often unrealistic leading to high pressure for all. Finger pointing common by upper management. Poor communication between disciplines.
