Pros

High performing company, financially stable, access to management, anyone with a good idea can make a contribution

Cons

No mobility, company is extremely lean. Many are stuck in the same position for countless years. There is no career path. Pay is low and you are asked to perform a role that is usually 1 or 2 grade levels higher at another company with much higher pay. HR says they pay competitively but they are just comparing titles, not the actual work being performed. Senior HR mgmt. has no clue of the actual work being performed. They are aloof. This is not an employee oriented company. Senior mgmt. views employees as cost centers. Goal is to cut your benefits, provide the lowest pay possible, and take away any little perk that made your day just a little better. The culture is dated. Senior Mgmt is resistant to change and focused on the stock price and nothing else. Functions are not aligned on goals making it very difficult to accomplish value added projects. Senior mgmt. needs to retire to allow this company to prosper. Current model is not sustainable. This is a company with a great history and so much potential if they would just modernize their thinking and put employees first. I wish them well.

Pros

The base pay is good.

Cons

- They are 10 years behind in everything - D&I, technology, employee suport - Leadership has no strategic vision, resulting in 20+ strategic "priorities" in any given year - Leadership sets growth goals - but is not willing to invest - Plagued by short term thinking - No one take responsibility for anything, including leadership. Lots of blaming others. - Employees are pushed beyond capacity and are still expected to take on more and more. - No employee development - They are obsessed with being "lean" - resulting in a growing business without the people to run it. - D&I gets lip service, while the same white men are promoted over and over.

Pros

Proximity to Highway, competitive pay, Summer hours

Cons

Everything rolls downhill, That is the culture and the way C&D business is run. Both Senior Leadership and management rarely go to bat for their people. Even good performers. If you're not a chosen one... Godspeed. If you are then more than likely you're a cookie cutter version of the person sitting next to you.
