Pros

Most people are nice, ASCO was a great place to work before Schneider took over. It was fun and exciting. Management respected out-of-the box thinking. Then it all changed when Schneider took over.

Cons

7 of us got laid off in October 2019; all in age-protected status. In a "2-for-1" sale format, the next week they had a hiring event for young workers. They offered us 'hush money' in the form of severance packages if we would shut up for 6 months they would pay us bonuses they owed us anyway. Well, they still did not pay out all the bonus money. Look at their website and notice the % of older workers, you will see my point. They took certain people, all younger workers, mostly minorities, and treated them lavishly. Even if their work was not outstanding. They say they are trying to groom next generation leaders. Maybe, but they are ignoring experience and talent for good press and photo ops.

Work-life balance is a myth for supply chain employees

Pros

You get what you put in... You can have a great career if all you do is work.

Cons

While they have a good employer value proposition, it is all lip service. SE wants to compete with tech companies or utilize the automotive companies' manufacturing principles and philosophies but don't want to pay for that type of work. Year over year the benefits package gets less competitive. Every year at the end of the year there are layoffs conducted in the shadows so they don't get any bad PR. These layoffs are a result of short-termism plaguing the supply chain organization. Those that stay need to carry on with even more responsibilities and expectations to do it all.
