Pros

Schaefer is largely full of excellent, hard-working, talented individuals. The company produces a variety of interesting and exciting products.

Cons

The benefits and pay are sub standard, and there are some culture issues. Management does not seem to understand the significant cost of living difference in parts of the country.

Pros

Schaefer has good benefits, and everyone in the company is pretty nice to work with

Cons

I haven't been working here long enough to see many downsides, but the biggest so far is the documentation. It is almost impossible to find the things you are looking for unless someone has sat down and told you where everything is. There's also a lot of company specific naming conventions and assignments that could have easily been based on similar standard protocols. With less company-specific naming conventions and more organized documentation, the learning curve for new employees would be greatly diminished.

Exciting field and big improvement potential

Pros

Exciting Field of working, lots of business trips, various businesses and customers needs and mentality, excellent helpful coworkers.

Cons

Management position often based on the network rather than the skills. You have to be Austrian if you want to pretend for a management position. Learning by doing is pushed to the extreme. There are too often lack of pro activity, it is frustrating to see how the management is passive to improve the working processes and to prevent to repeat the same mistake all over again.
