Pros

Since we are a small business group within Freudenberg (FOGT) you get a ton of hands on experience. I learned so much my time there. The people - production employees are super nice and friendly.

Cons

Management is too old school…Not keeping up with the times. Flexibility will keep employees happy. Lack of trust. Managers have to go through so much just to get approval for anything, again lack of trust! The office is so stiff, some office employees are rude. Pay is low. Benefits are expensive for no reason.

Pros

Most of the people are nice. You work four 10 hour days meaning you get a three day weekend.

Cons

The company seems to only care about the number of units shipped out rather than the quality of those units. Management is awful and they don't seem to care that they have a large turnover of employees at the plant.
