Vantaggi
No pros to working here with the current management team.
Svantaggi
Management does not give a damn about anyone but their own selfish needs. Over the last year, they new management has been put in place the US, whose only motivation is money. They have eliminated many of the perks (i.e. Lovgevity gifts, anniversary lunch passes, possibly Summer hours). Now that 2009 is complete, they are offering raises of two percent (in some cases nothing), after another banner year - sales and profits up around 15%. All they care about is maxing their big bonus. Recently, there ws a new idea to make the place look like home (they call it an open environment), so they spent roughly 20 million dollars to refurbish the place. No privacy at all, no walls, you can see everyone. Good use of excess cash. It would have been better to save the 130 or so jobs eliminated last year. At this point, I believe only upper management are the happy ones here. 2010 appears to be another banner year for layoffs, probably this time in Finance, with a full restructure possible, and many more lives disrupted or destroyed. Why do they do it - because they can.
