Pros

Pay is ok.

Cons

Standards depend on what day it is and what is needed. Upper management needs to be replaced. Tremendous overtime due to lack of skilled people due to lack of training due to management being clueless.

Disappointed in upper management's lack of concern for employees overall morale and well being.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you are emotionally disconnected to other people or to the concept of right and wrong then this is the place for you. I spent the last few years gaining the experience that showed me THE WRONG WAY TO treat the people that work with me. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Cons

This company taught me the dark side of greedy corporations. Personally witnessed people being released from their jobs while being out on sick leave or after coming back from being seriously ill. Women and men of strong morale character are bullied out of their jobs while certain directors work from home 90% of the time (aka not available out working on their own consulting business). This company steps on the backs of their best employees for pennies while wasting $100,000's of dollars on directors and vp's that DO NOT contribute to the bottom line. Goals change daily and you CAN NOT TRUST the budgeted or forecasted numbers.
