Pros

This company went through tremendous turmoil during the great recession, and being tied to the construction industry, has been slow to recover. The former CEO (think about the Steve Carrell character from 'The Office') chased away all of the talent, and they are slowly picking up the pieces. It would be a great opportunity for someone to go in and help turn the place around. It's a long-time Baltimore-based company with a great history prior to the former president's era. They re-located to the Fells Point area of Baltimore, an attraction to some, a challenge for most tenured employees.

Cons

A big challenge still lies ahead to execute a complete turn-around.

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
