Everyone has a vision - Only it's never aligned

Pros

Benefits are in line with top 10% of the industry

Cons

> A company with 100+ years legacy does not have standard tools/processes yet. You only spend time to reconcile data from one system to another & one manager's perspective to another's. > Attempts to standardize processes & tools lacks conviction & alignment with business priorities, which in itself is very dynamic as far as Philips is concerned. > Management shoves the improvement plans down the throats of the employee's. Seeking clarity gets their wrath. > No holistic employee development plan. > Change implementation is the worst. > Leaders at mid managerial level are not empowered to deliver on the objective they are given. > All of this contribute to a very toxic culture.

Is a highly volatile political atmosphere! Greater Pittsburgh Area, New Kensington is the worst facility to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits 85% to 100% competitive to competitors compensation.

Cons

Is a highly volatile political atmosphere in which to work! Depending on whom you are, if you are hourly and not personally favored by your manager you will be held to strict company policy. If you are a 50 level or higher salaried employee you can pretty much do anything you want to in front of anyone and they will be required to turn a blind eye to your unprofessional activities during working hour. No opportunity for hourly employees to be promoted into salaried ranks. Salaried ranks get promoted quit frequently.
