Pros

Pay and coworkers are really only good things.

Cons

Being French guarantees you a management job. If you look at any of the really important positions in management all the best titles are held by French persons. They give promotions to who they like and not who deserves it. The company makes billions every year but run the company by cutting supplies, staff, maintenance and expect you to hit your targets and act like your the problem. A lot of jobs in this place is a revolving door. They fired past HR representatives for doing their job correctly and refusing to break the law. They fully staff day shift with nurses and safety management but leave nights to fend for themselves. They don’t give employees Christmas bonuses but you bet they do for management. The only employees that are treated fairly are managers and they still don’t have it great. Maintenance is a joke, most of the mechanics can’t fix anything not because they don’t know how but because the company cut funding to parts room and we never have things in stock. You cannot run a company by cutting costs every year. The company will eventually be so bad and impossible to run

Pros

I worked at the LHD division. Pros: Talented employees, strong products/business, and a culture that was once great

Cons

Cons: Significant decline in morale, trust, and employee engagement following executive leadership changes. This used to be a company that people were genuinely proud to work for. The culture wasn’t perfect, but employees felt valued, leadership was approachable, and there was a strong sense that people mattered alongside business results. Executive leadership changes began in 2025, and the shift became much more noticeable after the LHD CEO departure at the end of the year. Since then, morale, trust, and engagement have declined significantly. The culture today feels very different from the one that made many employees join and stay. Communication is less transparent, decisions feel more disconnected from employees, and there is a growing perception that executive leadership is focused on short-term objectives at the expense of the people who helped build the business. The appointments of the new CEO, US and CEO, LHD coincided with a dramatic shift in employee sentiment. Whether intentional or not, many employees have experienced these changes as a move away from the people-focused culture that previously set the company apart. There have also been broader changes across the executive team, and the organization feels increasingly centralized and disconnected from the realities of the U.S. workforce. What is most frustrating is that there are still many talented, hardworking people throughout the company. The issue is not the employees. The issue is that executive leadership has failed to preserve the culture that was once one of the organization’s greatest strengths.
