Great company but gets bogged down in bureaucracy like any large corporation

Business Outlook

Pros

- Management support - Great team members ; feels like a family - Opportunity to travel

Cons

- Divisions are silo'd so transferring internally can be difficult - Decisions need to be approved by management in Germany, often slowing progress - It's a German company, so rigorous (and superfluous) documentation is required

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and its air conditioned.

Cons

7 days a week 8+hours a day. You'll never get to spend time with your kids or family. Training is terrible and they will lie to you constantly about giving you a day off. This is how the Rogersville Tennessee plant is.
