Former Employee – worked at FMC full-time

Pros – The plant is big enought that you can get involved in a lot of different things, or you can focus in on one specific process. The initial training was very in depth and they made sure you were on the right track

Cons – It was a little isolated from the world, and pretty cold in the winter. That's forgivable though as your also close to the country.

Former Employee – worked at FMC

Pros – Salary
Strong supply organization
Contine to make money despite themselves

Cons – Politics take driver seat, not the good of the company.
Ever changing organization results in no continuity on strategy and projects

Advice to Senior Management – Stop the games, agree on a strategy and commit to it. Short term successes will continue to keep the company in shareholder's good graces, but a sound and consistent long term strategy is lacking. Why wait to see what comes of the future and react when you can play a part in shaping it.

Current Employee – been working at FMC

Pros – They pay well and take care of their employees. Great place to work.

Cons – Could it be better? Sure, there are some things to improve, like getting a cafeteria. The health benefits are good, but not Personal Choice good.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at FMC as an intern

Pros – Professional and global management team
More focused on growth than in the past
Lots of locations all around the world

Cons – Company adding a lot of corporate SG&A...faster than top line and bottom line are growing
Slow to make major decisions. Wants to grow but not always willing to make the big bet and invest the resources and money required
Under resourced in terms of talent and capabilities in operations. This has/ will hold the company back as it lacks the qualified resources to execute. Invested too much in corporate management resources and not enough in line or project management resources. Getting the right ones/amount required will take a lot more time than anticipated

Advice to Senior Management – The company is certainly doing well but the next phase of growth will require different resources than what is present in the company now (more engineers, project managers etc..). Focus more on that versus procurement or regional management as those folks will guarantee bigger future returns. Don't be afraid to make big bets. Locking into numbers 5 years out is fine to grow the multiple but the world changes fast. Don't be afraid to spend the cash.

Former Employee – worked at FMC full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Fairly good benefits and general work environment. Worked with some really good employees who cared about doing the right thing to get the job done correctly.

Cons – Employees are given very few promotional opportunities or room for growth. Management not focused on appreciating the employees and their contributions. Most of the stated goals were completely different on paper than what was actually practiced. Actions by management were typically based on who your individual manager was and their own personal agenda, not the same as the company's projected vision.

Advice to Senior Management – More accountability for managers to actually move the company in the desired direction. Disconnect and morale issues have caused loss of talent that cannot be easily regained.
