Pros

Great benefits, decent pay, the company does help increase your knowledge of different programs like SAP, Sharepoint, and general clean room etiquette. You can learn a lot of skills here, like forklift training. (reach, swing, walkie, Order Picker) computer skills, email etiquette, packaging, etc.

Cons

The company has become very strict in recent years. A lot of micromanaging. There has become a lot of distrust between the upper management and everyone else with the random acts of termination without warning. Everyone has become on edge. A lot of favoritism

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
