Pros

The best reason to work at Pall is to gain experience working with a mature Quality System. When you go to another company, the valuable Quality KSAs you will bring along will benefit your new bosses and colleages. The second-best reason to work at Pall is to gain a real appreciation for how unlimited you might be elsewhere.

Cons

Management is the worst group of turf-jealous, risk-averse and back-biting people that could ever disgrace a (once) major corporation. Despite ALL of the recent layoffs, all of the cost-cutting measures and re-organization, those managers either stay right where they are, or are promoted away from areas they have almost ruined. The amount of micro-management ongoing daily speaks to the somewhat chaotic nature of production management and the lack of trust that management has in both mid-management and staff. Worker morale is worse than poor. Job stress is high. And you had better negotiate a salary you're happy with right off the bat because your annual raises won't be much more than 1%. If you don't get better than "meets expectations" on annual reviews, you don't get the performance bonus, which is usually a week's pay, depending on how your area did meeting its goals for the year.

Purgatory (You can only go up from here.)

Pros

The best reasons to work for this company are: 1. Decent paid time off (personal days, holidays, shut down periods, etc.) 2. Any other job you take AFTER this one ought to seem like a breezy paradise by comparison. 3. The guy or girl in the cube or workstation next to you is probably cool.

Cons

The top challenges faced while working here are: 1. Management: Management seems to think employees are stupid. They spend so much time and money recruiting and interviewing, only to treat employees like incompetent morons who have to be told what to do and how to do it. Management seems terrified of risk, so they tend to micromanage workers, which slaughters efficiency and innovation. Management asks you to do tasks that they wouldn't bother to do themselves. One particular high-level manager has the supremely annoying habit of coming around at the end of tasks or projects and criticizing them, demanding they be reworked, often for minor cosmetic things. Reworks never made the work BETTER. They just added time to do things that ultimately, no one cared about anyway. Management DOES NOT care about your experience. If you think you're going to start out at position X here and work your way up to management in ten or fifteen years, you are so, SO wrong. Managers are brought in from outside, which should tell you a lot right there. If your goal is to be an executive at Pall, DON'T WORK THERE! You'll ruin your chances. 2. Workload: People are doing the work of three or four, probably because others are leaving in droves. Your priorities will change by the hour. Try managing your own time effectively when a manager whips you back and forth between whatever he feels your top three priorities should be! Your manager will be displeased that you didn't get a majority of your projects done each year, and the constant fire-fighting and insane workload will not be a valid excuse.
