Pros

international company may get to travel internationally

Cons

Low pay, no raises, layoffs, lots of internal politics, glory days are behind it, the French have no idea how to run an American business but yet are too arrogant to admit it, company is going broke, they are trying to fix it but they dont have a reputation for making good decisions or being able to change fast. Everything is secret, there is no job security, and ultimately the company will be bought or go out of business. 15% was just laid off with no warning. Remaining employees would be smart to put their future in their own hands and find other employment instead of showing up to no job one day.

Pros

You can pad your resume.

Cons

Management is not available for support of any kind. Safety training is unheard of, but management still expects you to live up to their "expectations." It's all a game of figuring out who will take blame when something goes wrong. There is no room for career advancement. It feels like you are nothing more than a body expected to sit there and not complain for the next 10 years or so. Production is a struggle, you have to fight for resources, the right to put out waste, and maintenance is understaffed. In short, there's a very good reason for the high turnover rate.

Pros

Opportunities to work in a global environment.

Cons

After working 20 years and having 14 active projects I was working on, they called me into an office on a Thursday afternoon and told me my job was being eliminated by the French parent company and they walked me out the door. 20 years of service, learning to speak French, and that was my 'Thank you'. Fortunately I landed a new job with another company with a $10K salary increase.
