Pros

We used to have a great team and high morale. Lately we are losing people faster than we can replace them.

Cons

If we are lucky enough to get replacements the people we do get are lacking and not up to par. We are so short staffed we have to keep them

Thanks for your feedback. We’re always interested in providing people with a fulfilling and rewarding career. Possibilities regarding progression can differ in different departments of course. But having a good working environment and offering a healthy challenge is an integral part of what’s important to us to offer to you besides compensation and benefits.

Overall Great Company - HR Shared Services a poor group

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance, great benefits, amazing innovations

Cons

The HR Shared Services group has limited to NO career development opportunities and are constantly focused on numbers rather than making improvements - claim to be "lean" but really just focus on getting the MOST done... Management has consistently embarrassed employees on the floor in front of others
