Pros

I was glad to have a job and the ability to provide for my family. When business was good that did a fair job of taking care of their employees.

Cons

It was tough - they expected more and more but didn't to give back to they employees. They expected to beable to make changes in regards to hours that day and either you went along or you could find another job.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company contributes to 401(k) even if employee does not. Long hours but flexible and understanding about time off. Great opportunity to learn different aspects of manufacturing process. Lots of horizontal shuffling as opposed to vertical promotions.

Cons

The wages were a bit low but the abundance of overtime ensured a decent take home paycheck. Not very many pay increases or promotions and when the promotions did come it seemed to be based more on nepotism and favoritism than merit. Safety never seemed to be a priority.

Pros

1) Overall HeidelbergCement Asia pay people very well ... 2) Very structured organization ... 3) There is a lot of Guideline and SOP in place... lots of management tools. 4) People at the workplace is very friendly ...

Cons

1) Working environment is very manual ... 2) Lack of IT system to support the people ... CEO only like to use MS. Excel and don't believe in online platform. 3) Cross-check ... is the only thing you will be doing! 4) You have to be a highly self-motivated person to stay in the office.
