Pros

High starting salary for warehouse during year of 2000.Benefits were almost immediate, people were some of the nicest that I ever worked with.It was close to home, and the conditions were immaculately clean.In the early days, there was much overtime too.The manager who hired me was the best example of what a manager should be.

Cons

The raises were extremely low, over time.Overtime hours fell off.Upper management decided it would be more economical for us to be in a much smaller space. Bosch Worldwide is an excellent company, but I think that due to this building being in New Jersey, with the taxes being so high, and with the state's general unfriendliness towards business, I can only wonder how long they will remain in South Plainfield.Finally, I am still nursing wounds from being laid off without any foreknowledge.I cannot face the real possibilty of starting another warehouse job in 2015 at $8 or $9 an hour.I topped out at slightly above $15 an hour and was still falling behind on bills.

Pros

-Meaningful products that genuinely impact customers and society. -Exposure to large-scale, multinational complexity and cross-functional collaboration. -Many teams and leaders genuinely care and want to do the right thing. -Flexibility and autonomy can exist depending on leadership and business unit. -Opportunity to drive meaningful change if leadership alignment exists.

Cons

-Significant organizational complexity and matrixed decision-making slows progress and creates ambiguity in accountability. -Teams are expected to deliver transformational outcomes without sufficient infrastructure, resources, or organizational alignment to support success. -Decision-making is reactive versus strategic, making long-term planning difficult. -Inconsistency in leadership quality and management approach across functions can create vastly different employee experiences. -Collaboration across global regions can be challenging due to competing priorities, differing expectations, and unclear ownership. -There is a disconnect between stated people-first values and day-to-day employee experience. -High-performing employees experience a high degree of burnout because of unclear boundaries and role clarity and prioritization is not actively managed.
