Awesome People, Good benefits & Pay, few downsides

Financial analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Awesome Benefits (401k match, free 2x salary life insurance, small working pension, decent priced insurance) - Pay is competitive - International opportunities - Private company so not beholding to shareholders - Company cares about their employees (from my point of view) - Job Security is high if you are a good employee - People are so nice and really feel like family as you grow in the company

Cons

- Very slow moving and too “chain of command, management should approve first” oriented - Initial Training when beginning into company is lacking - Requires a lot of patience starting out; way too many good employees leave due to burnout (at least in the US) - North America is sometimes lacking in headcount which entails more work, whereas Europe has too much headcount

Forced to buy vacation for Covid-19

Salaried professional

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaried employees only the ones treated this way. Hourly employees: given 2 weeks extra vacation for Covid-19

Cons

Only for salaried employees; We are forced to use all of our vacation for Covid-19. Don’t have enough, then required to buy it more. They will not allow unemployment until you pay for 1 week of vacation (take a cash loan) and have an additional 1 week of negative balance of vacation. Not given extra vacation like hourlies.

Hello. During these unprecedented times, the safety of our associates and business continuity are priorities. Vacation purchase and negative balance are optional, not required. Exempt associates in Anderson may collect unemployment after reaching zero hours of vacation time when lack of work status continues. We realize sometimes these decisions can adversely affect associates. Please talk to your HR business partner if further clarification is needed.
