A Good Place to Start

Pros

- Good CEO who listens, has innovative ideas and, I believe, cares about the employees and where the company is going. - Benefits- 401(k). Outstanding 401(k). Best that I’ve seen – especially in this area. - Large company. You have the opportunity to advance if you work hard enough and get to know the right people. - Bonuses. Annual salary increase and bonus. - Great vacation package. - Job security. - On-site cafeteria with pro-rated meals (at home office).

Cons

- Employee trust. Employees are called “associates”, but we aren’t treated as such. There is little employee trust. Everything is very regulated, there is usually a need to acquire at least one manager approval before any decision can be made. Even going to the on-site gym on your lunch break needed a manger sign-off at one point. - Attitude. There isn’t a willingness/openness for change from tenured employees. Attitudes can be very negative and condescending. Unwillingness for cooperation. Too many cooks in the kitchen. - Benefits – Medical. Abysmal. They made slight improvements in the last few years, but for a company this size, you would expect much, much better.

High deductible health plan

Pros

6% 401(k) match is the best benefit they have

Cons

High deductible health plan coverage but employee rate on premium is on par with a much nicer plan. Poor value.
