Pros

You have the opportunity to take on new tasks and expand your skillset but do not expect to be compensated for this.

Cons

Turnover down 40% and not expected to change in the upcoming years so do not expect to get trained, to travel or to be promoted. It is all about cost cutting and have been for the past two years and this will only continue because this industry will continue to suffer. It is also a German owned company so all decisions are made in Germany.

Pros

It has a great benefits package and the people are great to work for. They are family orientated and consider their employees their best asset.

Cons

They have to report to management in the home office way to much, just to get approvals to purchase trivial items regularily needed for job function
