Pros

- Compensation is good for management level employees though a large chunk of pay is division performance based. - Working at a factory will get you promoted and recognized quicker than working in corporate HQ. - Great health, dental, and vision benefits. Good 401k. Stock purchase at discount. - Performance feedback good (depends highly on your specific manager).

Cons

- Middle management tends to be smarter than senior management. Senior management known to make short-sided and poor decisions frequently. - Older management team does not understand how to manage younger employees. This should change as older employees start to retire. - Pay for junior employees not on par with pay for junior employees at comparable companies. Management and senior level employees get paid on par with peers at other comparable companies.

Pros

Good healthcare, but will be changing. Stable company, lots of opportunities to change jobs if needed. You can apply for many jobs across the company.

Cons

Not always a respectful work environment. Some employees are given preferential treatment based on their connections, which school they went to or who their relations are. If you go to HR with issues, be prepared to be put under a microscope by your manager.

Very poor career development. Don't expect high salaries after 10 years of experience. The Spanish organisation doesn't promote 3Mers working abroad. Bad relationship between Sales and Marketing.
