Pros

Decent benefits and ability to earn PTO. Occasional bonus opportunities and employee meals on holiday. Most employees are great to work with aside from the Trainer who continues to cause high turn over in the Foot production Area.

Cons

Not great pay for a specialized operation that takes skill and care. Poor communication amongst middle management. The trainer in the foot production area behaves in a manner that is malicious and undercuts any opportunity for growth for new hires; causing high turnover rate. The ability to finish daily work suffers because of disarray of their warehouse and lack of reciprocal adjustments the employees require and ask for daily. They have a poor habit of letting other employees who should be your equal power trip over you and punish you continually infront of your peers.

Pros

Mission-oriented culture, Excellent leadership in North America and many quality employees that continue to strive for better and better. Modernization efforts are recognized and prioritized with many initiatives underway. If you perform well, recognition and career mobility follows.

Cons

Hard to drive change at times with certain team members. Clean data and systems can be an issue that requires manual efforts, but change is underway. IT processes can be hard to understand and time-consuming.
