Pros

Great product line and a great manufacturing experience. Beautiful plant Multi-cultural environment

Cons

You are either in or out with upper management. I found many cases to be inexplicable where mgt would either favor or dislike employees. Many excellent employees have left the Hagerstown plant for this reason. Many of the replacements they hire are of a lower caliber than the people they replaced. Pay is average.

Pros

Really inclusive environment and most of campus is already with ABW - activity based workplace (flexible seating).

Cons

Sometimes due to the very inclusive environment, decisions can take a little longer.

Pros

Great team of colleagues. Employee who are focused on ensuring their best. Excellent collaboration between teams. Colleagues who will look past the negative culture and continue to do their best for the company.

Cons

Culture & HR team who are clueless about global teams and work strategies. Focus on how many days and hours are spent in the office, rather than quality of work delivered. "You are being tracked by HR" has become the new way of life with the new culture. Total lack of communication after announcing job cuts are coming, due to awful truck sales and loss of market share in USA. Heavily bloated VP structure.
