What is the best part of working at the company?
Big company so your job is safe. But its also so big that they don't care about you. The actual work is great, and most plants have good working conditions. The biggest problems is getting your expense checks, and the company phone is used as a leash.. even when you're off the clock.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The expense checks. They use concur and a "ghost card". So when you book anything the ghost card picks it up. That's not so bad... whats bad is the ghost card doesn't relase the charges to your company card for a while. Then when accounting gets your report, they pick it apart. The whole process is about 2, sometimes 3 weeks to get your money.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Corporate. The work is about 20% of it. The other 80 is navigating the politics and policies.

There is no typical day. Flying and working, but there's no consistency involved in any of it.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?

Training is non existent in customer service and then they blame you if you make a mistake.  Most of the people that work in this area have been there for years and have a favored status with management, who is clueless and if you fall out of favor with these employees or management, you're done.   I have never seen a place with so much back stabbing. The pay and benefits are ok, but putting up with the people that work their is not worth it.  This is not a place you can grow at.

The only way you get your foot in the door is through a temp agency. You will be on a 6 to 12 month probation period before they let you know if you are good enough for them. I was not there long but I can tell you that they do not care for temps at all. The training is very lacking and basic that you are constantly running in with questions because they do not show you how to do your job. This place is very clique and for the most part, you are made to feel unwelcome. 
You will definitely know you are a worthless temp in certain areas there!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very relaxing atmosphere for a job best place I’ve worked

I expected more out of the job. I was overqualified for the position and often times I felt underutilized.I would have work to do but once I was finished I was stuck in the "now what?" phase until I either went out and talked to other engineers to help them out or a new order came through.

However this goes without saying that the people were great to work with and always helped when needed. 

Their designer position is suitable for a person with a 2 year degree, but someone with a 4 year degree will feel like I felt.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great Company to work for.
The pay is great. 
The machines KRONES makes are the best. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Long workdays.
The timeline is always short for the work to be completed.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company has a lot of very skilled people to work with.


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
overhauling machines and meeting with plant personnel.

A typical day at work enter invoices into SAP. Not all invoices were set up for payment based on the receivables some were put on hold to be reviewed again later. Distributed the department US mail. Compared the freight bills in a matrix for payment approval then entered in SAP for payment. I was there to help out during the year end process and Krone's was finishing up on a department adjustment.

No room for advancement. Don’t get treated equally. A lot of favoritism. Higher ups are very hard to approach and just to talk to. Opened a new warehouse and employees were just expected to move with no other options. Never even talked about the other warehouse opening with the employees or ever have any information on what was happening with the new location Others who have been there for less time got moved up and others were not even considered. Happy to not be working there any longer.
