Pros

Great for starting pay/benefits. This is ideal for someone who lacks life skills/is in a difficult position/first job and needs to make money. Management and HR is easy to work with. I haven't had any complaints with my supervisor. They understand if an emergency arises that you can go take care of things. The work is not very hard and the production goals are relatively easy to meet.

Cons

Do not apply if you believe education and experience will help you move up. If you have a college degree, which proves that you have critical thinking skills and can learn things easily, you will be beat every time by someone who has been with the company for even a year longer than you. (i.e. lets say I have a Psychology degree and several years of Chemistry lab experience, you will be passed over by someone with a high school diploma or GED who knows/is friends with someone in the quality LAB department, or has been there a year longer than you. Longevity is everything to this company. Raises do not happen often, no matter how much you learn in your section. I am certified in nearly every area in my section of work at have put in a ton of work making my production goals (as well as covering for people who quit and called out of work.. which happens almost daily) and have had zero raises in almost a year. I am due for a review soon so I cannot speak to how much the raises are. This is not a place to make a career unless you get lucky in a section where you end up being the longest person time wise and get promoted. Promotions are given to those who have stayed the longest. You will be told to apply for a position when they know you are up against people who have longevity on you and know the job specifics more than you. Sounds fair right? Well it would be if the work wasn't so easy to learn for those who are intelligent and have the work ethic and drive. If you are an engineer, maintenance, IT, sales/software engineer ... by all means apply!

Pros

Relaxed environment. If you don't want to work, this is the company for you.

Cons

The most convoluted business structure I've ever experience. This company is divided into 3 major business units, which is then sub-divided into smaller units. I am a part of Danfoss Power Solutions - Fluid Conveyance. It seems that all of these different units operate in a complete silo. There is no overall, comprehensive global QMS or SAP training programs. They have no change management system; all of their documents for quality are in one location, regardless of the revision. No distinction between one business unit to the next. Documentation uses abundance of acronyms and vague language. A simple business process is not clearly defined nor is there official training. Finally, the specific plant I work at, has one of the worst quality cultures I have ever seen. The operators and operations management do whatever they want. Most of the operators don't even know what a SOP is, but management changes the SOP and expects operators to just magically know it. No training, no verification, no accountability. No division of responsibility. Quality is constantly put under the gun for things engineering should own. These people don't even know that you need to shut a tool down when it is malfunctioning.
