The Company is terrible

Pros

There is nothing positive to say; more work, worse equipment, less help, lower wages than industry average. We cannot keep and retain good help.

Cons

To be accepted you need to go tuna fishing while wearing knee pads or else you're expendable. They get rid of the good employees, while keeping the one's who are their buddies.

Pros

Job changes often, which makes it seem interesting, co-workers are great

Cons

Morale is really low where I'm at, management has made promises to employees that they don't keep, you are cleaning up crap all day long, constantly being threatened with loss of job if work isn't done, on-call, lack of performance reviews and constructive criticism, no career advancement or career path.

Pros

My department has been great for needing personal time and most of the people are great.

Cons

CEO does not care about employees or rewarding said employees. the process have changed becoming more time consuming with no added benefit to employee or the company. No raise will be provided for 2 years but executive upper management get their toys and bonuses.
