It's not about hard work, it's about how much butt you kiss with this company.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The extended time off and benefits package are all that make this a somewhat tolerable place to work.

Cons

Break your back all you want, it will go unnoticed. Spend time in the office sucking up and stroking egos and you're sure to quickly climb the ladder.

Great company to work for

Accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very family oriented with great benefits and great people as evinced by so many of the employees have been there at least twenty years and more. The company invests a lot of resources in the employees through training and education, an employer-paid masters degree program, college assistance for the children of employees and providing physical surroundings conducive to a pleasant work environment. The time-off policies are exceptional.

Cons

The workload can be very heavy and varied with many different deadlines and can be quite stressful.

Great company, great benefits, great leadership, great community involvement

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits Strong Leadership at the executive level Community involvement (United Way, Habitat and other opportunities for involvement) Decent Pay Good People

Cons

In technology, they're a bit slow or behind. Because that's not what necessarily drives the company. Tech adds an advantage, but doesn't drive things. Innovation comes in spurts. Lots of slow days/weeks/months followed by short periods of craziness.
