Pros

The company offers internships and summer employment for college/high school students. The pay is on par with what their "real" employees make, and for a factory/hourly job the pay is not bad.

Cons

The work is very monotonous and while it's only temporary for a student, it's a bit disheartening to see older people (specifically POC) work their butts off to provide for their families - but I suppose that's the blue-collared/working class life.

Freudenberg Group Response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave this great feedback regarding your experience with Freudenberg! We’re happy to hear that our internship program is competitive within the market. Manufacturing is a very complex process that relies on many of the jobs to be single fold. However, we are pleased that you were able to see first hand exactly what it takes to produce our product and see the process from the ground level. Thank you again and please consider returning to Freudenberg for a career in your future! Sincerely, Corporate HR Team
