Depressing Company

Pros

Upper management will pretend to care. If you work in finance you might be ok depending on your direct supervisor. Semi flexible-work schedule. When in office dress code is lenient. This makes up for the below industry pay even for those with a degree. The walls are painted with depression and the halls are paved with grumpiness, try not to become consumed with the unhappiness. Have tough skin, stay to yourself, and you might survive.

Cons

Boomer Headquarters. The salary is a joke. Try to ask for what you are worth coming in because the word raise is nonexistent. Most have not received a raise in over 12 yrs. Cost of living increases every year on average by 2.5%, so I hope that you have a spouse/roommate, healthy savings, or part time job to help relieve with bills. Management does not care about employees, some supervisors will dump work onto the team to complete at the last minute. Horrifying organizational skills, poor managerial skills, and lack of leadership.

Pros

You can test your limits by dealing with situations you are handed with no experience and no training. Leave a good impression and the high turnover will get you contacts at companies where you can build a career.

Cons

Pure nepotism at the HSV plant. Horrible stuff happens to protect and promote management's family members regardless of competency. Customers hate this. SJ Executive management either doesn't know or turns a blind eye.

Pros

Most of the employees are friendly.

Cons

No raise in 5 years, poor medical benefits at high cost compared to most companies this size. Poor incentive to do better. Manager told me he was instructed to rate all employees of his lower than the year before, even if performance was better.
