Pros

Locally in Kansas City, MO... the management staff takes great interest in every employee's success at the facility even though their hands are very often bound by corporate strings. Through the ups and downs of my tenure, overall, I loved my time at WABTEC and miss working there.

Cons

As in ALL global companies... the employment well being of the lowly employee becomes lost when the industry turns and the bottom line for corporate investors/stock holders drives the retention and/or release of non-value added staff. Just because you have committed yourself to WABTEC unfortunately does not translate to corporate reciprocating your commitment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good People, Exciting Work, Lots of different roles and variety in products. It is great to work at the factory and to be able to work on projects for customers around the world. The location and work environment are also good.

Cons

Not enough preparation and planning. To much reactive thinking and not enough process development. Management lacks a clear company vision. They also lack an understanding of the marketplace and how to be successful in it.
