Pros

Pays well and steady work

Cons

Save a couple of Team Leads, every supervisor is an incompetent leader that is only concerned with themselves and their money. When given a genuine solution to a problem, they ignore it. If you start to care, the will snuff it out in a heartbeat. As a “thank you” to their employees that were deemed essential (only 1 department) and worked through the pandemic, they gave them a one-time $5 voucher for the lunchroom snack area. You also cap out as a Press Operator in 1 year. You can move up to a Team Lead for $2 more/hr but loads more responsibilities and headaches.

Pros

Stable company with broad global reach. Front office jobs not demanding, hybrid schedules and low expectations lead most to be 30-35 hr weeks.

Cons

At first this looks like a positive: you’ll notice that many employees have tenures of 15,20, 30 years. But that leads to a lot of group think and insular behaviors. They actually have a common statement among employees - “you’re not a Freudenberger unless you’ve been here 10 years.” Not exactly a welcoming statement to new employees. If you’d like to have your input and thoughts ignored for a decade, this is the place for you. Convinced they have great technologies, but in market terms, average technology at best. Horrific infighting between divisions. Management meetings resemble Klukluxclan meetings in terms of diversity. Pay scales below market, 401k match very weak
