Pros

You get paid on time Health insurance is good

Cons

Not a good place to work if you are younger than 40 years old and if you are not a male. Extremely sexist work environment. Even if you can complete your job duties virtually they will not let you because it is "unfair" to the other employees that can't. If the office is closed for bad weather the employees who can work from home still have to work but the employees who can't, get a free vacation day... seem fair??? They might promise you a big raise after you have been on board for a year but YOU WILL NOT GET IT! This is really an "old school" company and will continue to have high turnover if they do not change. You can also report harassment and they will do nothing about it. They had sexual harassment training that was a complete joke and slap in the face to any victims. The company will look great during the interview process but please beware. You will not be happy here and your mental health will suffer greatly.

Zestron Response

We’re sorry to hear about your bad experience. At ZESTRON, we are committed to an environment of diversity and inclusion of all backgrounds, ages and ethnicities. Additionally, we are committed to a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to any kind of sexual or interpersonal harassment in the workplace. These commitments have led to a 7-year average employee tenure across all departments, with many employees having been with the company for well over 15. As you can also imagine, as a manufacturing company, people are needed in the facility to produce our products as well as complete the Sales, Marketing and Operational efforts associated with them. This is why there is not, and has never been, a work-from-home policy for any position at ZESTRON, including yours. As with all employees, that is made clear upon joining the organization and being here for over 3 years, you were well aware of that. While no organization is perfect, at ZESTRON we strive for business excellence and employee satisfaction at every turn. We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

I was hired during the peak of the COVID lockdown and so far it's been amazing. I'm always learning more about the products and industry and everyone is always excited to help. Everyone is also very open minded and sincerely listens to what ideas you might have. I've been able to really grow here as an employee and I am very proud to be apart of ZESTRON.

Cons

The IT department is great but with them being located in Germany sometimes its a bit inconvenient if you're having computer issues.
