Pros
Had a nice laptop at least.
Cons
Boyd suffers from being a company that never integrated the businesses they acquired. It allowed a poor culture to grow and take over. There really is no culture. Everything is half baked. People are promoted that dropped the ball. Everything is dysfunctional. IT? Yes. HR? Yes. Promotions? Sure, but you won't get a raise. Health insurance? The worst plans I've ever seen. There is no long term strategy here, actually, there is no strategy here. Let's just be honest! The company is partially owned by the Chinese government but the management doesn't talk about it. Google "Boyd China Goldman" to find the exclusive Reuters story for insight as to how these people operate. Upper management doesn't care about your experience or expertise. They'll just hire a consulting firm. If you want to join the Busch League of companies, this is it. Let's discuss the sales (lack of) incentive plan. They felt that they were paying out too much for flat sales. Sales, it's always the problem but we had the weakest manufacturing operations of any $1B company. So much private equity over the years and they have just killed the factories. You can't make world class products with 40 year old tools. Communication dwindled, too. It got better with the new ceo but even he lost sight. Management expects the impossible. Your state is shut down for covid? You better be meeting with customers!
