Desventajas
Ever since the new CEO took over (the previous CEO was well-beloved, but was let go by the parent company in Germany) the company has taken a severe downturn; employees and customers are not as highly valued as before, and there is an intense (and dangerous, in my opinion) fixation on obtaining the most profit possible. Because of this, quality and customer service are slipping, and when the oil and gas market crashed it caused a large number of customers to cease orders. Many employees were abruptly laid off, and the atmosphere is still quite tense. Additionally it is very hard to "climb up the ladder" so to speak. Promotions do not happen often.
