Pros

One of the main reasons to work for Applied is its global footprint and the emphasis it places on customer relationships. One gets to really understand how a large corporation works in an international setting. Other main reason is the flexibility to move to different divisions within the company and to different roles. Great place to network and meet some really interesting people.

Cons

1. Long work hours -> Some times the management just expects you to live for the company than to work for it 2. All work and no play 3. Cafeteria - Sucks big time. 4. Lot of travel.

Pros

Many opportunities for career developmnet, cross-training, attending training off-campus. Good salaries and benefits.

Cons

No upward mobility. Very much an old boys club. No women in managment or corporate-level positions. Corporate level employees are never laid off, only rank and file. Very political.
