MilliporeSigma Reviews

Cons

Hard to transfer other sites if needed.

Cons

Pay is low compared to cost of living. Promises of growth are rarely achieved.

Cons

Micromanagement from quality, not a lot of room for advancement within department, isolating work atmosphere

Cons

Supervisors are not either professional or knowledgeable. They are very lazy and blame the employees for their lack of performance. Newly hired mangers are good and need to get rid of these old uneducated unprofessional people.

Cons

Need to demonostrate more courage to adopt new technologies.

Cons

Constant re-org and shifts in management, inconsistent work-life balance, high turnover, increased responsibilities from turnover may not be reflected in pay, career development opportunities sparse

Cons

I can't think of any

Cons

-Completely different territory structure every year. Not just different territories, like size swings of 10-fold for one year to the next all due to decisions from management
-Completely inconsistent targets
-Extended delays for commission payments
-Extended delays for sales target setting and communication
-8 levels of middle managers between leadership in Germany and employees in the US
-Severely inconsistent or non-existent marketing support
-Contradictory, inconsistent directives/ policies on everything due to integration and too many middle-managers
-Integration sickness between Millipore and Sigma employees: instead of choosing the best system/process to use from the legacy organizations, we use all systems and processes until it breaks then create new processes that are worse than either previous system/process (caveat: data systems are improving)
-Essentially working at a NEW multibillion-dollar global conglomerate with top-down leadership instead of regionalized autonomy

Cons

management does not empower teams or individuals to make decisions

Cons

I would avoid the Cherokee site in St. Louis. The quality and employee management systems here are terrible. They do not train employees because the turnover rate is high so you will be thrown in the fire and have to figure everything out on your own. The consequence of this is everything is never done right and always creates a lot of problems. The culture here is very unprofessional and high schoolish. People are clique and competitive and don't work as a team. People will throw someone under the bus to get promoted or to look good. Management does not care about employees they pick a few favorites and give them all the career development. One of the managers there would go around and bully people and be utterly disrespectful and run people down. Because they treat employees badly nobody cares about the company or doing things right here and it is just a never ending cycle. Human resources is also very unprofessional here and if you have a problem they don't care about it regardless of what it is. Go work somewhere else.
