Pros

Great benefits, employees are hard working with little or no recognition.

Cons

Leadership skills among the management team has much to be desired. Too many managers own agenda vs. what's best for the company and work force.

It's complicated

Pros

Good pay, great health benefits, pretty good opportunities for job rotation. It's fun to work with other cultures, and from a retail perspective we have some of the biggest and best in the country. People early in their career can learn a lot and easily jump to other companies in the future.

Cons

Despite all the pros, the cons are winning the battle right now. Leadership is trying hard to "cut their way to the top" and turnover is accelerating. Workloads are increasing for everyone and morale is declining. HQ in Germany doesn't value experience or insights from the regional offices; they just want us to execute on their decisions. Too bad really. Oh, and I can't forget the forced-ranked annual review process. Popular in the 80s, I can't understand why Germany loves it so much. Definitely a morale killer.
