RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Barry Callebaut full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
You have a lot of freedom to create and implement
Cons
Not real training follow up, not allowed to do external trainings , even if they have +70 sites around the world, nothing is standardized , management not the same direction in Europe and America, constant fight, European think they are "better" because of the savoir faire, this complicates implementations of big projects.
Advice to Management
Need to better understand different way of working and cultures, and HR needs to back up a little bit, they want to be the decision makers of everything without even understanding what employees do

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Barry Callebaut full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
The company pays well and benefits are good
Cons
Unreasonable expectations. Out of products all the time. New European Managment is “interesting” but the attitude is something along the lines of “we’ll show these Americans how it’s done”nobody is happy, the culture is bad. Nobody’s job is safe. Management by fear.
Advice to Management
Ease up. Be nice. You’re not in Belgium or France now. Trust your people. You’re not the Terminator, stop trying to act like it.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Barry Callebaut full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
The shift times are ok and so is the pay.
Cons
The money isn’t worth all the work you have to do. There’s appears to be no structure or direction. You work wherever they want you to. No real job title even though you were hired for a certain position.
Advice to Management
Follow through with more training and check on new employees. Do not neglect or treat temps like they are unimportant.
