Toxic Environment

Pros

The choices of benefits offered even though premiums increase considerably every year.

Cons

The work environment is toxic. Employees are treated as if in high school. Management monitors what time you arrive and leave work. As a salaried employee, even if you work extra hours in a week, if you need to take time off for a doctor's appointment you are required to take sick, personal or vacation time. If you are considered "a favorite", you receive better increases with lower increases for those who aren't so the favorites can exceed the required pay range for raises. The employees who receive the lease recognition are the ones who work the hardest . This is a small company, so there is very little room for promotion. There is no work/life balance because you are expected to work extra hours when they demand it or face being fired. The president of the company can't remember from one day to the next discussions and decisions made. His management style is that from the '70s and does not consider any progressive employment options. The president will have all hands meetings and everyone just discounts the drivel he spouts because over and over he has exaggerated the company's forecast.

Pros

Lots of work, decent pay.

Cons

Was working 60 hours a week, complained the Army was making me work 84+ hours a week, they lowered my hourly pay to keep it the same then required me to work 84 hours a week. Also, supervisors appear not to understand how to control unethical employees and or possibly sanction it.

Pros

Generally, reasonable management. Management does not threaten your job for compressed schedules.

Cons

Low salary actions. When performance reviews are late, there is no retro-active pay (e.g. seven months late). Further, the next review period moved 12 months out. Promotions are rare (meet managements unrealistic expectations for years before being considered).
