Pros

Big Reputation, Superiors can be accommodating to needs, Many Perks or benefits. Guaranteed job security if sticking to same position.

Cons

Does not seem like a meritocracy. Depends on who you know or who likes you. More emphasis on relationships than actual ability. Hence, workload can be unfair. Those who do more may not get recognized unless they brag about it.

Pros

Line level management was good to work with, however there was little structure to the organization. As a shift manager, it was more important to put out fires that occurred during the shift, rather than to meet any organizational goals long term.

Cons

Human resources was very antagonistic to supervisors and above. Instead of supporting management decisions, HR would act as an employees advocate, even when there was blatant and egregious violations of policy. Numerous times, HR generalists would form friendships and romantic entanglements with frontline employees, and would then shield them from any type of performance counseling

Pros

There are no pros, it is a stop-gap job!

Cons

Horrible company! Why are they turning over and always hiring people?...the last 8 years here in NEast Pa, they are always hiring, everyone knows they treat people horrible, no training, allow employees to argue and fight amongst themselves....they are like every other American Co. now.....clue-less managers who are in constant fear of losing their jobs, so in turn, that trickles down.....horrible, what a joke Nestle is, could write a book.
