Pros

Depends on relationship immediate supervisor.

Cons

Office politics are out of control. Job performance is not a factor considered for advancement or lateral opportunities. Always an "intangible" issue that management can't explain to staff. Poor employee morale. Extremely high turnover. Leadership only concerned with personal success and building their own resumes/portfolios, not long-term solutions or growing talented individuals. Favoritism is how promotions are awarded.

Pros

The nature of the product lines and wide range of accounts leaves room for enormous amounts of business potential.

Cons

Low salaries and low standards for projects have driven many talented and highly qualified individuals to seek employment elsewhere. There is a fundamental lack of organization within and between departments in addition to unsuccessful process implementation. The disarray causes long work hours, frustration, unnecessary drama, high stress levels and employee dissatisfaction.

Pros

Opportunities for making a solid impact on profit are abundant. Unfortunately that is because skills and work methods at Hoffmaster are far behind the times. One must tread very carefully and involve key long term managers and gain their support before making suggestions or taking action to try new methods or teach new skills.

Cons

Long term employees are threatened by new employees with new knowledge and skills. They have a history of colluding to get rid of any new employee who, by attempting to improve results, might expose the lack of knowledge and failure to use modern work methods that many long term employees possess.
