Pros

Air conditioned warehouse, that's all they got to offer thee employees. There not many words to mention on the pros..

Cons

Underpaid, unfair treatment of employees, favoritism, unprofessional management to say the least. It's not what you know in this company but who you know.

Thanks for being with us for more than 8 years already. We appreciate you coming here and share your opinion. We are sad to read the cons you are mentioning. We take these very seriously. It’s a pity to hear that you feel mistreated. Our remuneration packages match those of other global industry leaders, while performance-related benefits increase in line with value and results. We do stimulate our people to speak with their manager or even the Philips Ethics Line if they think something is not (ethical) right. Because all Philips employees should be part of an annual review program to assess performance and development, recognize and reward achievement, and should be rewarded and treated accordingly. And we do agree that employees are vital for our company. You and all your colleagues have helped us to build, which we are very thankful for.

Pros

It is a very stable company

Cons

Very little incentive to try to advance your career. Way too much process and too many people hired just to enforce and monitor processes.
