Good Place for Couple Years

Pros

The work-life balance is not bad - just be prepared for slow days and very busy days. Peers here are also friendly. All the benefits are great except for medical insurance.

Cons

Pay is low / no more bonuses. Turnover rate is high. Promotions are not always given for those who work hard and take on special projects.

Favoritism at its Worst

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

-Many good people to work with -Pretty relaxed culture, jeans any day of the week. Company holds fun and meaningful charity events. -New building and state of the art facility -Benefits are good. 100% match of 401k

Cons

-Huge amount of favoritism and entitlement -Company has great values, however they do not live by them, they are simply words on a wall. -Senior leadership team feels they need to make ALL the decisions and do not empower their teams, which is a morale killer. -Company is horrible at looking into the future for planning/forecasting. Always less than 1 year out view. Constantly changes direction/decisions at last minute for huge changes, when lots of money, people, effort and time have already went into previous decisions. -HR is very soft and will not stand up to upper management, which ties into why there's so much favoritism and entitlement. -You do not receive a bonus, unless your Director and above.

The work life balance is difficult to achieve due to the long hours during busy seasons. This department can be stressful if you are not organized and able to multi-task
