Pros

I will always have the highest respect for Dr. Goeppinger (Dr. G) our recent President & CEO over 30 years. She never forgot a name, and was the only employer I ever had who cared so much about employees, with the 10% retirement contribution, the annual Thanksgiving & Christmas gifts, other nice dinners and parties. And as busy as she was, she still made time to reach out with kind words of comfort when I lost my beloved pet. So I was shocked to read any negative remarks, but I guess every organization has disgruntled employees. And Dr. G gave many of them a second chance too. So this is the by far the best employer I’ve ever had, and I will always be grateful to Dr. G. I’ve worked at MWU almost 20 years, and everyone I know was devastated to hear she retired. The reason was not divulged, so it’s not our business to know, but it will be hard to fill her shoes.

Cons

Like any organization, we have some mid-level managers who know nothing about the jobs of those they manage, or the excessive workload on employees.

Pros

Employees like the parties and recognition gifts given at the end of the year This is a good environment for somebody who does not necessarily want to do a lot of work and sit at a computer just because they have to be there for their job

Cons

Managers who do not want to be questioned and maintain a status quo Managers who set up performance plans based on no data and no information to to set employees up for failure
