Okay only for those who want a paycheck and benefits and to kill 8 hours a day

Pros

Decent salary and benefits. Smile and nod your head a lot, and you'll have excellent job security. Great work-life balance once you realize there is nothing to be gained by working hard, but keep up the appearance that you are.

Cons

Company is a cult of the CEO, who thinks he walks on water and micromanages even the smallest decisions, which he will impulsively change, then change again. Promotions given only to the select favored few who bend the knee. Results don't matter (as evidenced by the stagnant stock price), only that you play well with others. People have no incentive to work hard, because they know whatever they do will be undone by the CEO's next impulsive change of direction. CEO complains about low productivity, but doesn't have a clue why this is the case.

Pros

good benefits and caring people. coworkers are all in this together trying to stay afloat among all the insanity

Cons

No excitement about anything. You are punished if you try to be innovative or take any kind of risks. Just blah working environment with terrible culture that trusts no one. Toxic. By far the worst management team I have ever experienced in my professional career. I have no idea how the Board allows this to happen year after year. Zero energy and a completely out of touch CEO, Eng brother and executive team. All the good people have left years ago. Don't even bother working hard because no one cares and the executive team has no desire to hear feedback anyway. An overall depressing and sad place to work especially because there is still such potential, but all hopes and creativity are crushed by overwhelmingly same poor decisions year after year after year.

Pros

Extremely smart people working at the company. Community outreach is lead by employees organically and supported from the top down. Employees are allowed autonomy in several areas of their job, high expectation of output.

Cons

Some processes/systems are outdated and need to be updated.

Good place to work - but don't ever expect to be promoted

Pros

The pay and benefits are above average for the industry. The corporate culture is mostly pretty good. My managers have always treated me and my co-workers fairly.

Cons

Unless you are one of the chosen few at the top, you will NEVER be promoted beyond the position you are hired for. They DO NOT promote from within. You have employees that have been in the same positions for 20 years or more being managed by people who've been with the company for only a year or 2, and upper management expects the seasoned veterans to train their managers.
