Tough time to be here

Pros

Stability. You can remain here for a long time if you are good at your job.

Cons

It is becoming tough to be a long time employee here. The new leadership is so focused on proving things are different that long time employees are looked at poorly just because they have been there a long time. Change can be great and is needed, but pushing “old timers” off to the side to make that point is painful.

What a downfall!

Pros

Used to be a great place to work, used to have the resources needed, used to have the people we needed to get things accomplished used to be allowed to make necessary purchases to get our jobs done we used to have competitive and employee centered benefits.

Cons

They have cut everywhere just to make Uncle Warren happy. Oh you made a billion dollars in profit last year? Okay let's slash all of your site services and try to make a few extra million... Oh you're having a hard time recruiting? Let's slash the benefits package and make it even harder. Management is hamstrung by the LELT "Lubrizol executive leadership team" who are the only ones moving anywhere in the company. Career growth is stagnant, salary growth lags so far behind inflation I'm basically making the same amount as when I started almost 2 decades ago with several promotions under my belt.
