Vantaggi

Decent benefits and pay package.

Svantaggi

Workload is not distributed equally across groups. Some have multiple projects and NPI going at once while others sit with one project per year. For a company who supposedly champions work-life balance, the amount of micromanagement and expectations to be available after hours does not reflect that. The "Executive Office" (whatever that means) has made a unilateral edict to return to the office full time with no exceptions. Citing "collaboration" and "we are always better together" even though most of us don't work with groups in our office locations and have to have virtual meetings most of the time. Management refuses to acknowledge that productivity and morale was improved when there was a work from home and hybrid work model, in some cases almost a 50% productivity improvement. Who you know seems to be more important than your skills and experience when selecting candidates for positions. Seems that if you haven't played the office politics game you have no ability to move up in the company. Global service specifically has made the decision that they will not be doing any more promotions in place. Management has decided that rather than encouraging workers to improve in their current positions and grow in their abilities, they want us to move on to different positions across different areas of the company. This decision seems to be short sighted and has already resulted in lose of good competent workers with no backfill, causing higher stress and workload on those who haven't left yet.

Vantaggi

You are treated with autonomy, dignity, and respect. It is assumed you know how to do your job and are given the trust and means to do so. Compensation is above market value. Uncapped professional growth if you know how to play your cards right.

Svantaggi

Working at Burger King and living from my car in Northern Michigan during the middle of winter was preferable to working on-site in Peoria. Project work was inherently meaningless and dictated almost entirely by the caste system this company has in Central, IL. My relocation had absolutely nothing to do with the role at hand and was a power play by management to get me to become a bleed-yellow Peorian in the CAT-corporate social club. The company loyalty here is absolutely disgusting and has nothing to do with the viability of the brand or product. Everyone is enamored with the status and wealth they've attained on account of not performing hard, manual, life-threatening labor. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who actually cares about what goes on in the defense division or addressing the geopolitical anomalies between the former headquarters and the new business direction of the company.
