Pros

international, safe / secure job, fair conditions, day care for children, inexpensive food within the company

Cons

If you are an artistic person or someone that wants to manage his time on its own you are at the wrong place. This is a traditional German company with strict rules that might bore you to death.

Pros

- A lot of responsibilities are given to young team members early on, there is a considerable amount of freedom in decision within these responsibilities. - For individuals eager to gather knowledge in trading, distribution and supply chain there is opportunity to take initiative to take on projects and additional tasks. - Colleagues across the globe to exchange expertise and market views - Team spirit is hugely important and practiced in a lot of the departments. This can vary extremely but over my total five years it definitely improved for the better. - Support in getting trainings or additional education

Cons

- Inflexible workplace culture (e.g. : Home office only started with Covid and was restricted again to two days after lockdown, no clocking of workhours) - Hierarchies within the company are pretty rigid, with not a lot of upward potential for young/new/female colleagues in the first five - seven years. - Management is largely white, over 50 and male - Core functions like Supply Chain/ logistics are regarded as second to commercial roles, by the employees as well as by some managers. This stems from the lower pay, higher workload and less development perspective within the company for Supply Chain colleagues. In result a high fluctuation among younger workforce is common. - Salary structures are very rigid. -There is zero consideration of differences in workload, complexity or responsibility for different jobs in the same role (Supply Chain Coordinator (SCC) or Product Manager). One SCC might oversees tribble the amounts of transport with a much faster moving product in consequence does work a lot of over hours while another SCC taking care of "smaller" products earns exactly the same even though working hours and value generated will differ immensely. Same goes for Product Managers in general.
