Was not good for me - battery division

Pros

Great benefits, large company, pay was good.

Cons

Environment is toxic, with a lot of finger pointing. Lots of engineering types and processes. Absolutely no marketing, all marketing is expected to be done by the retailers. Its an engineering company so there are TONS of processes, but surprisingly its incredibly inefficient. Battery labels are still applied by hand , etc. The Milwaukee office seems extremely unhappy. The cubicles don't even have walls, so you are staring at someone while you do your work. You have to have allies in this company or they will turn on you in a heartbeat.

Pros

Compensation was okay-that's it. Met some nice people to work with.

Cons

Everything. You are treated as overhead, a number. Not an employee. They overwork you and there is absolutely no teamwork. Everyone pawns off their responsibility on someone else. It takes days/weeks to get an answer. NO ONE is proactive. Management/Factory is very reactive. You can't get an answer or get anything done to help a customer out until the situation gets escalated. Customers HATE dealing with 10 different people to get one answer. All of the customers I dealt with, said they hate the company, hate the product, but liked working with me. IT'S AN AWFUL COMPANY AND NOT WORTH WORKING FOR THEM. THEY DON'T APPRECIATE ANYTHING. THEY SET YOU UP FOR FAILURE...............AWFUL PLACE TO WORK. HUMAN RESOURCES DOES NOT HELP YOU OR RESPOND. TERRIBLE HR DEPT....
