Chicago - a pretentious disaster

Corporate manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

location, building cafeteria, nice people that work in manufacturing and operations.

Cons

Elitist attitude throughout the entire organization. Walk into a world of backstabbing, scheming and bullying from Claude, CEO, and the rest of the over paid and arrogant executive management team. Forget about your family, friends and health, Ardagh expects it all for repayment of their salary. They do provide an example of the worst corporate culture at no additional cost. If you have integrity and enjoy getting up in the morning, work somewhere else.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, some good people, travel

Cons

Poor recognition from Corporate leadership, some upper level leadership takes too much credit for improvements they had no part of. Micro managing is terrible. Unprofessional in meetings. If you like to be cursed out during daily meetings then "Welcome to Ardagh!".

Pros

None. Unless you are desperate... avoid.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Incompetent leadership with massive egos. They don't care about people. Expect to be lied to repeatedly from the minute you speak with a recruiter to your last day on the job. My life improved tremendously once I stopped working here.
