Pros

Access to a lot of training opportunities, Six Sigma, TPM, ISO9000 to name a few. Tuition reimbursement as well.

Cons

Seriously afflicted in terms of cultural, racial and gender diversity. Promotions occur on the basis of who you know and the opportunities to advance are routinely denied to those who are not in the favored few universe.

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. Upper Management have positioned the company well. Lots of really good folks to work for

Cons

If you're over 40 and not already made substantial career growth you're probably not going anywhere. The company is very youth oriented. This is necessary to a point to maintain the future of the company. However, if the company encourages it's employees at any age to get a degree to be considereal for promotion there should be some room for those of us who put the work in to get our degrees while putting in 55-60 a week. The only thing I have to show for my degree is the debt it took me to get it. I wish I had never gotten my degree. Also nepotism is prevalent.

Pros

Most of the managers are nice people. The pay rate is fair for the area.

Cons

Shaw has bought in to the new "hire engineers as managers" philosophy. Most of them go through an internship straight from college and then are hired as full time managers. The have no experience managing people and know almost nothing about the jobs they are managing, and what's worse is they don't want to know anything about either. They're there to put a job on their resume and move along. I'm just hoping to get out before they run this great company into the ground.
