Unhappy Management

Pros

After 8 years, there aren't many pros to this place. But, vacation hours are pretty good.

Cons

Management. Some of it arrogant, much of it egotistical and heavy-handed. You don't get shouted at, instead, you get dressed down. I am a self-motivated employee and work very hard. I don't screw around and find ways out of work. For some of the treatment I have received at the hands and voices of management, you'd think I was a person repeatedly caught goofing off and being non-productive. A member of management at whatever level comes walking in, get out the palm fronds and bow down and worship. Sexual harassment. I'm writing this incognito, to give the details isn't wise, but a member of higher level management engaging in outrageous behavior, using his role and position in and abuse of discretion and power. Attempting to actually take your time off that you have earned: good luck. Work your ass off, which is exactly what I have done for 8 years and be treated like a 5 year old. Pay raises - company-wide - do not even rise to the level of inflation, no matter how hard you have worked or how much your efforts have paid off to the company. Finally, lack of any managerial motivation. You will not be told a job well-done. You will never hear anything that actually motivates you in terms of your achievements and how your efforts have in whatever way caused the company to see some kind of additional success (read: numbers; gross profits; loyalty; etc.)

Pros

Decent pay and benefits. That's about it. You might get lucky to meet some good people you work with, but not a guarantee

Cons

First, unless you are management or outside sales you are paid by the hour, and if you are supposed to work more than 40 hours per week (most people are 50hrs) you will lose time when you take days off. A 50 hour a week person works 10 hours per day, but can only take 8 hours of vacation max per day. I've brought this up to corporate folks in HR and they're response is "yes, we are aware and working on it." That was 2 years ago. They stopped paying overtime for vacation days when the economy crashes, so this pay cut has only been for a few years, however there seems to be no rush to bring full pay back, even though we are hiring new people. Overall environment is toxic and unhealthy. Some of the stress caused is not needed, but managers are just overpaid salesmen, not true leaders. This company is a good ol' boys club and unless you are part of that group, you will go nowhere. Do not let this company fool you. They will not pay for your education. Yes they say they will, but truth be told is they will not.
