Pros

Great staff Collaborative, team mentality Promotions used to be internal Great work life balance

Cons

Many Staff in IT were very long term (10-30 years!!) so there is some resistance to change Good rhetoric about accountability from incoming senior management, however staff aren't empowered to think and act - just do what they are told Many key decisions that were once transparent and questionable are now made behind closed doors and secreted away from staff. There is a ceiling for promotion as new CIO has brought in people he worked with in the past to fill senior management roles rather than promote from within.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
