Pros
Old upper management focused on training and developing employee skills, while focusing on brand development. Great teams that help each other. Good way to get your feet wet with several different brands and industries across Medical and Aerospace.
Cons
After upper management changed several benefits were removed, getting a bonus often never happened, getting an ounce more out of the company required heavy disputing that often became upper management scolding you from requests. After the changes, management proceeded to lie about projected growth, and when the time finally came they laid off a large amount of people when the ‘true’ numbers were released. This removal put employees into a non stop work environment that made working at Zeiss feel like getting out of a bottomless hole. You do not get paid for overtime, and in no way can finish all work assigned to you in a days regular hours. There is no path for upward movement, ever, you can only transition into a sales or regular management position....even then managers often do not get a pay bump when changing job title, and are expected to work much more unpaid hours.
