Vantaggi
As a former employee of more than 10 years I was proud to be a part of the organization at least for the first 7 years. The company culture was supportive, relationship based, strong ethical values and beliefs that included employee benefits, work-live balance and profit sharing.
Svantaggi
The last 3 years the company has gone through significant transformation in my opinion for the strengthening of profits. Plant closures, relocation of work force from the US to lower paying Asian and South American shared service centers. Large workforce reductions and outsourcing of labor which prior to the current CEO never occurred at this company, even during the depression era. Vast amounts of knowledge walking out the door, either by choice or not for other opportunities with good companies. The "transformation" of the company creating an almost hostile and corrosive culture and not one I would work in long term. Work-life balance went out the door as well with the expectation of US resources to work and be available 24/7 to support the less flexible other global regions.
