Great People

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful people. Kind Family oriented. Supportive. Will help you to succeed but you have to take your career into your hands and show them you're a go getter.

Cons

Depending on who you are aligned against, after a while learning curves tend to flatten, and growth seems to slow. You have to stay vocal about new opportunities.

People are Great, but sometimes thats not Enough

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

-People are still great and all comments in the First Review still Apply -Management is friendly, personable, and has open door policy. I have never met anyone that I could not approach or ask for help (and that is not an exaggeration). -Initial compensation is OK (nothing spectacular), but raises are not that good. -Townhall, and other company mtgs and the news topics on the intranet site are good for learning about the company and the industry. Company does a good job of keepin you in the loop. -Flexibility to take time off as needed.

Cons

-Amazingly while there are several opportunities for advancement, there are less opportunities for -growth. In other words its easy to get a title but hard to get guidance to build the right skills. -Agree with second reviewer: Antiquidated Systems and Processes. -Series of layoffs have resulted in lost expertise. -Focus on hiring from within is at the cost of sometimes promoting the "not so good" talent. -As stated compensation is OK, but promotion titles seem to depend upon your actual salary range, not merit or work content. I've seen people do the exact same work, but have entirely different titles (and no there is no difference in the work at all).

Pros

Family like atmosphere, nice people, accessible management, dedicated work force

Cons

Limited investment in technology and automation (aren't we in the 21st century...why are we using 2 decades old methods), too many new priorities introduced at the same time...no focus. Production stretched too thin. HR department too demanding.
