Pros

Great memories and experiences over the years

Cons

Over the last 6-8 years line managers have been selected for who they know and not what they know. Consequently paralysis set in and morale nosedived, taking with it any chance of fostering quality culture/values let alone grow the company.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
