Pros

- Good health benefits - that's it.

Cons

- Bigoted management who are not excepting of either minorities or LGBT community. - Employees who are demotivated by superiors that still use a "fear" style of management. - Management has a general disdain for Gen Y's. Most honestly believe they are all lazy and entitled - I heard this complaint from a number of managers there. - HR is clueless and still haven't learned after being under the radar of the federal government for poor hiring practices. A number of occasions in which I witnessed unethical practices. - There is a reason this company is hiring so much - they can't keep people there.

Thank you for your feedback. Over the last 12 months, Dematic has grown by over 100%. We are hiring so much because we are growing! Over the same timeframe, our turnover has been less than 4%, well below industry standards. We are excited about our growth and continue to look for fresh talent, especially within the Gen-Y group. Our hiring practices are in line with federal government standards and our Ethical Practices Policy Guidelines ensure that we strive for excellence while following ethical practices at all times.

Pros

Great pay, Good autonomy. Exciting technology. Lots of opportunity to improve and license to make changes, the Grand Rapids office has many great people who built Rapistan who are the best part of working there.

Cons

Ruled by the quarterly results, little transparency in outcomes, little care for individuals, many instances of people being fired or promoted unfairly, lots of politics, constantly trying to look better than they are, No real values to speak of. Pray you have a good manager, they are unlikely to be held accountable
