Pros

Great people. Potential to advance in various business areas. Great benefits and 401K. Cafeteria and fitness center onsite. Located in great area with easy access to major highways. Make a positive impact on the health of animals. Values community.

Cons

Limited in advancement on positions due to outsourcing departments and corporate located on East Coast. Some micro-management even with very experienced and mature employees. They take incredibly long to fill a position. Was told there was work/life balance when hired but there is not.

Pros

NONE that I can think of

Cons

Management needs to get their heads out of their behinds and realize these are actual people that are working for them!!! Regardless of whether they don't have lives, some people do and have no interest in spending 24x7, holidays included sometimes, at the office,

Pros

Solid company that is not going away or impacted significantly by changes in the market place. Large US base means benefits are reasonable. Generally there are no surprises - it's manufacturing, so the business is straightforward. Roles are pretty clear.

Cons

Definitely a German company doing business in the US. Expect to have ex-pat Germans in key roles and for them to shuttle back and forth to Germany every few years. German jobs will come first - not a lot of Creativity in creating jobs.
