Pros

Very demanding company which makes you learn a lot if you’re committed to it. Career opportunities if you’re ready to go to the HQ in Düsseldorf.

Cons

Company culture is very specific, very rigid and very old school, despite having a pretty young team overall (management included - too young even probably). You basically have to give your life to the company if you want to last over there. Teams are simply under staffed for the workload per capita. And that’s just the way it is. This implies an unhealthy atmosphere, tired, demotivated and frustrated people. Difficulties of management to take decisions. A lot of time spend on analyzing over and over things that will anyway not be considered. A lot of non sense in this company that loves thinking they are the best out there and don’t know how to question themselves. On top, salary is not in line at all with the performances the company demands from employees. Fight for your raises!

Pros

Good pay, Union job, not terrible work overall

Cons

Management lacks communication and micromanages immensely. Since packaging shut down, outlook on this plant is grim, with little to no positive affirmations from management regarding long term outlook. Zero room for growth at this site.
