Lack of communication and poor management brings this company off track

Quality control systems engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Training program is moderately effective. Large company with potential positions in various locations. Expense accounts are given to all.

Cons

Management can be unprofessional and indirect. Communication is near nonexistent. The sales team oversells the limits of the team as a whole. You are also expected to relocate as needed. Hiring staff oversell and over-promise to new hires. Being a part of a large company, your opinions don't get heard and you get overlooked. Travel is unscheduled and can deter a functional lifestyle. Company programs, such as sales leads and service management, often reduce the quality of work you are able to provide.

Pros

Nothing is good here at all.

Management, co-workers, pay, being mistreated, overworked. I have never worked so hard and been treated this way. It's insulting. They do not care about employees. Awful place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Most people are great to work with Industry leader

Cons

Due to outsourcing manufacturing to low cost countries, COPQ is eroding the bottom line and customer confidence. Everything is about cost savings and the bottom line. Job cuts are frequent even when the company as a whole is doing well. Work loads can be especially heavy and due to the job cuts, those left behind are burdened with even more work. They talk of work/life balance but depending on your position, this can be difficult to achieve and management doesn't care
