Pros

Stability, Nice colleagues, which makes good environment to work.

Cons

Extremely slow growth. Need to take some tests in order to move up in the department. This, instead of motivating, is the opposite, because it won't matter how good you are at your position. No raises based on productivity.

Pros

Company as a majority has an understanding for family needs. They also operate as a family-type environment (which is both good and bad). There are a few associates who deserve mentor status should the company ever decide to focus on their employee base. There are some employees who take real pride in their job and the transparency of that makes working with those individuals a genuine experience.

Cons

Intertape as a whole lacks a solid core business strategy. They operate with little commitment to their own time consuming business plans and seem to be in a constant state of non-directional change. They contradict their own initiatives. They give an impression of never ending instability. Poor communication seems to be the building block of their company culture. They treat their internal organizational assignments like a book of secrets. Matter-of-fact information is held clandestine which only fosters gossip that at times take priority over day-to-day operations. Almost non-existent employee development and employee reviews are hit or miss. You may get one or you may never get one. Management could seriously benefit from a training course in public speaking and tact. Their entitlement lectures exponentially increase the diminishing morale when cut salaries and heavy workload due to continual re-org layoffs are already a contributing factor. While the family oriented environment is a pro, there is a perceived inverse relationship with regards to top level cliques and sound decision making. The volatility of these types of circles cultivates cutthroat practices and breeds hostility.
