Pros

Good company, solid but not great benefits, positive work environment. Growth opportunity in most departments. This is a company on the move through mergers and acquisitions.

Cons

Internal resources not keeping up with growth. Lack of leadership in some departments. Old-school industrial business, not tech savvy.

Pros

- Hard working team members. - Pleasant office space - Good employee benefits - Fair & Reasonable salaries

Cons

- Unrealistic expectations. Often mgmt puts unrealistic expectations on employees. This could be because there are unrealistic expectations placed upon mgmt. If you don't meet these expectations (requiring late hours, weekend work, excessive travel) you will be "coached" on how your employment should take top priority. - Discourage collaboration - don't ask for help & don't make any suggestions. They aren't interested in process improvement, communication and interdepartmental collaboration. There are a lot of egos at work - any suggestion of change is met with resentment - almost considered a personal attack by some members of senior mgmt. The result is an unwashable black mark on you. - Employee shelf life. If you make it past 2 years, you'll probably be there forever. Initially, another employee told me this within my first month of employment. Of course, I refused to believe it. It did appear to be true time and time again. At around the 2-year mark, even if you do everything to meet their expectations if you have irritated mgmt (even unintentionally, through suggested change), you will be "laid off". The handwriting is often on the wall, so be cautious at all times. It's often better to choose to leave, then be asked. - Personal Time - Don't ever have a family issue and don't try to take your vacation. With family issues (divorce, child care or illness, serious family illness) Management will say they will support you - even with full disclosure. Ultimately, they will not support you. Again, this is a repetitive pattern, not an isolated incident. HR is great and does everything possible to support the employees. Unfortunately, HR is not supported by senior mgmt. Family issues are seen as a sign of weakness and those employees are "let go" - IPG exercising their right to term at will. One day someone's desk is full - the next they are gone.
