Pros

Pay...on paper. Benefits. That would be it.

Cons

Management awful. Only care about pushing the product out and not the people that actually make the product. 20 minute lunch. Feels like a prison, except you get to leave at the end of the day. If you went around and asked all hourly manufacturing employees, I’d bet my life savings 85% would tell you they are only there for that “good” money or because they are trapped because they cannot find another job at their age. VERY stingy about time off. plant. Only good thing about it is the pay....on paper until you get hit with those taxes. It looks very appealing starting at $15 an hour with an increase to $17 in the first year until you do the math and you’re barely making $12 an hour. Beware of the Morristown, Indiana plant. I worked here for 2.5 years because I was stuck due to financial issues. I haven’t been so relieved in quitting somewhere in my entire life. Take this as advice and save yourself.

Pros

Stable company with broad global reach. Front office jobs not demanding, hybrid schedules and low expectations lead most to be 30-35 hr weeks.

Cons

At first this looks like a positive: you’ll notice that many employees have tenures of 15,20, 30 years. But that leads to a lot of group think and insular behaviors. They actually have a common statement among employees - “you’re not a Freudenberger unless you’ve been here 10 years.” Not exactly a welcoming statement to new employees. If you’d like to have your input and thoughts ignored for a decade, this is the place for you. Convinced they have great technologies, but in market terms, average technology at best. Horrific infighting between divisions. Management meetings resemble Klukluxclan meetings in terms of diversity. Pay scales below market, 401k match very weak
