Beware of Brunswick

Pros

Your family will enjoy living in The Golden Isles 401k is on par with industry standard - however they need to pro-rate the 3 year vesting period One of the best ELE programs I've ever seen in my time as an Engineer The best Electricians I've EVER worked with There are some amazing people here They are continuously investing into this mill

Cons

-Medical benefits, started out great 3 years ago but has since doubled year over year (ACA is their excuse) but when you privately make BILLIONS of dollars then you should easily pay the Cadillac tax if you truly valued your employees -401k is set to 3 year vested instead of most industries utilizing the prorated type (Because turn-over is so high across GP they would never entertain this) -Work Balance (Did you notice Life was missing?) Because if you are apart of any area management team or the Process Control team you don't have a life, you see your family in blurs, little glimpses of moments because every single day there is a new fire/s to fight along with projects and other preparation for shutdowns all while undermanned. - The MBM and Guiding Principals are plastered on at least one area of every wall they can find but that's about as far as Koch's culture has made it to the operation of mills. -You will be handed more and more responsibilities, expectations compounded and you'll do it all for zero added dollars? Broaching the conversation with supervisors goes nowhere. -You are nothing more than the service you provide for them, remember that, just another cog in the mechanism and are replaceable.

Strong Corporate Culture

Recommend

Pros

Opportunity to do challenging work and plenty of support from management for development.

Cons

The corporate philosophy regarding compensation is not applied consistently across the company or consistent with the intent of the philosophy. Your merit increases are never guaranteed even with good performance unless you can prove your value in the job market. Your best way to get an increase is to go out and get another job offer. Not a lot of opportunity to transfer to other groups.
