      Pros

      I am lucky to have bosses and leaders who are willing to listen and provide valuable advice throughout my service here. This translated into a trusting relationship.

      Cons

      If you believe you can make a difference, you need to roll out your sleeve.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Bonus is ok, dependant on performance (company not individual) Impossible to get fired unless you REALLY mess up or they have to shout at you more than once a week. you can be totally incompetent and as long as you hide behind emails and talk a good game you will be fine. Doesn't really matter if you fail or succeed with your appraisal targets, no one else looks at them until the next one.. rarely measurable and easily talked your way out of.. they still won't fire you..

      Cons

      Zero chance of realistic career progression in any department Inequality of pay is rampant I have seen EUR15k difference between people doing the same job Some serious issues with competency and understanding in senior management (some action seems to be happening but NOT removal)

      Pros

      Nice enough; benefits are "okay"; focus on safety is great

      Cons

      Ivory tower mentality; to many people with one job that would take any normal person with work ethics about 5 hours a week and then too many people with so many tasks that it would rival the work completed by a swarm of ants; Company was purchased last year and the new corporation hasn't even attempted to step in and help; poor training; small company thinking; poor facilities; aspestos in the buildings and poorly maintained everything; no employee engagement; low moral; uncertain of the future; no disapline; lots of favoritism; tight controls on the things that don't need it showing absolutely no trust and not enough controls in other areas that they are losing money; I could go on and on.
