About 80% of the people, and nothing at all or whatsoever, else.

In my opinion and from my own observations and experiences... Absolutely everything else, including Management, HR, and the Horrendous Safety practices, monitoring, enforcement, reporting and overall culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay Coworkers are great people Effort made to promote strong company values.

Cons

Your experience depends on whatever the current management team at the time wants and the management groups are constantly changing and reorganizing. Short-sighted decisions are made regularly, like massive layoffs while adding work load, causing rehiring of those laid off within months. Company values often not upheld by management teams.
