Pros

Everyones ideas are heard and considered here. If you have the tenacity, you can initiate and improve procedures and organization. Beautiful location.

Cons

Company seems to be faced with a crisis of resources. Many new (and old) initiatives are overwhelming current capacity...resulting in frustration and burnout and increasing turnover. Old issues not being attended to while business rolls on and management is continually forced to make due. Comparing to other younger (and older?) companies where the CEO or GM is there day-to-day with the departments, communicating vision and actually supporting the team from the ground up, this company is currently a ship with no rudder.

Pros

Stable company with broad global reach. Front office jobs not demanding, hybrid schedules and low expectations lead most to be 30-35 hr weeks.

Cons

At first this looks like a positive: you’ll notice that many employees have tenures of 15,20, 30 years. But that leads to a lot of group think and insular behaviors. They actually have a common statement among employees - “you’re not a Freudenberger unless you’ve been here 10 years.” Not exactly a welcoming statement to new employees. If you’d like to have your input and thoughts ignored for a decade, this is the place for you. Convinced they have great technologies, but in market terms, average technology at best. Horrific infighting between divisions. Management meetings resemble Klukluxclan meetings in terms of diversity. Pay scales below market, 401k match very weak
