Pros

The people I work with are fantastic. I care about the company as does everyone I’ve come across at Formica. We have had a big investment especially in North Shields and are hopefully on the right path to becoming profitable.

Cons

I’ve had some pretty underhanded things happen to me which wanted to make me leave Formica and being asked to work on call for nothing is taking advantage. There is no investment in te staff or retaining the best people. I come to work to be paid and haven’t had a pay rise ever.

Pros

Easy job on day to day tasks. But that’s only because management is severely lacking. Decent pay, company vehicle, typical benefits (health care, 401k, etc.)

Cons

Management structure with No direction, No focus or a real understanding of what influences end user buying decisions. They don’t even perform a basic market swat analysis to understand what they could be doing better. Why? Because we invented this stuff, and have been doing it for 110+ years do we know it all. Well then, enjoy your 30% market share there buddy.
