Pros

Global presence, reasonable compensation, standard perks (vehicle, laptop, phone), excellent benefits, potential resources.

Cons

Lack of leadership from senior management, limited communication among regional management team, poor strategic vision, questionable ethical decisions, reactionary response to market fluctuations (versus being an industry leader), loss of focus on the customer and their needs, unrealistic view of the market and the price it can bear, insufficient time and resources to accomplish goals within reasonable parameters, cursory support of safety and regulatory compliance, ponderously slow in moving forward on any front, and absurd rate of turnover within all levels of the organization.

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.
