Bureaucratic, few female managers and no female executives, headquarters and most plants located in small towns, old school, top heavy with too many management layers, ineffective employees seem to be protected against losing their jobs, "sink or swim" culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Executive Management!!! Especially the CFO. They will stop and talk to the average employee.

Cons

Some departmetns are allowed to workfrom home and allowed flex schedules while other that could do the same are not allowed. Some Management believes in face time. Some are very mcro-managers. If you are not from Dalton, prepare to start looking for another job within 6 months. Do not sign a long term agreement to stay if they relocate you here. No where to live if not from this area. Building has cockroaches all over it. Recently made major changes to the bonus plan. Managers have their own favorites. Just bad overall moral. I would stay away unless like I said you are from Dalton.. There is nothing in Dalton, GA.
