Pros

Work with good boss but retired, and good team members but left, work life balance before covid.

Cons

After Covid resume everything, too stress, over workloads, meeting always changes in last minutes then I need to change everything and waste time to follow up other participants availability, not proactive. New bosses are too demanding, other people from US team esp. US Team admins too much rely on Asia supports and not work independently without basic sense of work, everything ask Asia team checking. And I don't feel respectful when people asking me to do something without basic manner. So politics, team leader likes to promote same nationality staffs that he likes.

Pros

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
