Pros
We are now the biggest, but we are not the best. Not a bad company to work for, but not an honest company. We are very lean and way over worked for the money we make. I personally work more than 70 hours a week but only get paid for 40. That's every week.
Cons
Communicate to staff. Many of us were offered a retention package, and most are wondering how the company will try to get out of that. It seems the status quo is to to find ways to not pay employees what the company has offered. If most feel that way and are concerned, then it should send a message to management a fact that employees don't trust them and that should be a BIG red flag. Second, let the employees know what is going on. Do we have a job? If so where? What is the offer? Right now people are leaving like mice on a sinking ship and that is managements fault. Tell us what is going on and figure it out! It's not that hard to establish the structure the new organization, so why is it being that difficult. We seem to be taking on the General side of processes and structure. Well, if Prysmian purchased them, there was a reason for that and possibly their way was not the right way. Who purchased who here? There needs to be ONE person who makes the decisions on the structure, then populate the names within that structure. Not that hard to do. We are losing sales right and left. We are told to use the other company if their costs are better resulting in lowing pricing. That's not working as the other company is only worried about keeping their reps and agents happy, so we are not getting any response. There are a lot of verbal commitments but few in writing, and as stated previously, that scares people since the company has a history of screwing the employees. Lastly, a presentation was given a while ago. In that, it clearly showed the cash per employee. Well, the European/ASEAN, and all other division better catch up since the USA has more cash received per employee, so stop worrying about the head count. Trust and ask you management team what they need to get it done and give them that. Simple.
