Leadership turnover and constant restructuring have created a culture of instability and uncertainty. Teams are frequently asked to absorb the impact of organizational decisions that seem disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. There is also a concerning pattern regarding local members of the community getting pushed out or being managed out of meaningful roles. Employees from the surrounding community remain concentrated in lower-tier operational roles while leadership positions are disproportionately filled from other countries unfamiliar in US regulations. These leaders often intend to leave the site within 3-4 years and their strategies are not sustainable for the long-term, knowing they may not have to live with the pain when they’ve moved on to their next opportunity. This has created continuity issues across all departments and plant workers remain in a constant state of stress due to abrupt changes. Combined with the waves of departures across all departments, the organization risks losing valuable institutional knowledge and meaningful training programs are unable to exist in the firefighting environment. If you move into leadership, be prepared to have to navigate the creation of novel processes with little to no guidance or the resources to make sure the process is actually a success. Every continuous improvement initiative has the same underlying tone to do more work with less resources, less money, and less time.

Salary is not always competitive

No work life balance at all

not a lot of career growth opportunities

There is a lot work.

Mixture of different business cultures

do not found any yet

Continually lied to as mid-level leaders. Denied promotion because I am male and white in the US - HR approved my grade promotion before the de-merger. My "plus 1" manager sat on it even though I was "critical and instrumental" in the successful separation of quality systems from GSK. I asked my next manager what it would take to be promoted - I accomplished what he "requested" and then he denied my promotion. When I challenged the next level manager, she said "you're not a woman in the UK." I was also "strongly encouraged" to work through a debilitating illness and treatment by 2 department heads.

Salary not great. Not many pay rises

Too much lobbying for career growth. No transparency anymore. Clue less upper management and expert brand team. Cost cutting is the new normal here. Managers here behave like king here. Impractical demands
