Pros

Benefits, Pay, Travel, People outside of mangement, Opportunities

Cons

Very male driven company Women are treated as if it were 1900’s - males can do, females must be submissive and “act like a lady” at all times Everyone who works there is miserable, but stays due to good pay/benefits Corporate and US is 95% white, very little diversification

Pros

Although most of the people that have been there a while aren’t the nicest, there are some great people working there. I met a lot of great people in other countries and formed relationships I never thought I would have.

Cons

What management says and what they actually do are polar opposites. They will mislead you into thinking they have your best interest in mind but they really are just out for themselves. The environment is what everyone on here says it is, but also filled with high school drama. If you want a company to treat you decently, this is not the company for you. I could go on about my personal experiences but I don’t want to get too personal. I just want to warn people before they accept a career here. You should read all of these reviews and take them seriously. I don’t want anyone else to go through that.

Pros

Opportunities abound to learn and develop new skills. The organization runs lean and you will get cross trained with multiple different positions in the company. There are opportunities to mow globablly if you develop marketable skills. The company invests lots of money in employees through their back to basics program. The company strives to innovate and find new markets and products. The corporate culture emphasizes hospitality and customer service. If you enjoy a fast paced and dynamic environment the work days will fly by.

Cons

The company organizational structure is flat and confusingly structured. It is generally run with an atmosphere of fear. Fear that you will be replaced if you don't satisfy the shifting whims of the Lyon's, or one of the various corporate officers with ambiguous duties and roles. Despite constant internal communications of how profitable the company is pay increases are not consististant with company progress. Lack of a clear organizational structure tends to lead to peer who outrank others dumping work onto subordinates. The culture is one of fear that you will be eliminated if someone else knows how to do the job that you do. Good people seem to be fired inexplicably.
