Frustrating

Pros

It is a steady job.. And I do enjoy working with most of the people I work with.. Very bad management at alot of facilities. Upper management seems to turn a deaf ear to that.

Cons

No room for advancement, especially if your a woman. They will groom and promote men right in front of you knowing you have expressed interest in moving up. Very unethical and extremely frustrating. Loyalty to the company doesn't seem to matter at all.

Pros

Only good thing is some of the employees--those who come in and do their jobs, but usually they're lower-level or non-managerial employees.

Cons

Hypocrisy and stupidity at epidemic levels. Senior mgmt fails to validate anything! They stumble along touting how successful the company is, but never verifying what they've been told by their VP's and Directors. They look like imbeciles when they're up telling how "awesome" the company is, because internal teams and even customers know it's a joke. Unqualified "posers" are promoted, therefore any new ideas are from the competition, stolen from a lower-level employee, or outdated, rebranded-as-new ideas that were originally launched 4-5 years ago. The marketing department is the worst. Instead of a cohesive marketing strategy, it feels like 20+ separate marketing departments all wandering around aimlessly. Carpet hates hard surfaces; Hard Surfaces hates Carpet; and so on. And because of Shaw's practice of promoting unqualified employees to VP's and Directors, there's no organization. Folks roll in each day without a clue as to their role and responsibilities.

Pros

The pay is great as well as the medical and dental benefits. It is a laid back environment. Associates tend to work well with each other.

Cons

No job stability. Management doesn't communicate well and business is in a downward spiral. Ninety percent of the workforce are convicted felons. Facility is dusty, nasty, and it isn't climate control.
