Pros

Great People Great CEO They are committed to growth and success and will invest in thier people Great organization to work for at the beginning of your career

Cons

There is some very dangerous micro-managing happening that is going to drive out some of the most talented performers in the company. Some of the upper management is questionable, and threatening jobs seems to be the sole form of motivation.

Pros

Good retirement package Pay isnt top of the industry, but competitive Good Senior management group Making good adavancements in oversees markets to become a global presence Safety is a top priority throughout the company

Cons

-Poor health insurance (Aetna), You have to fight to get claims paid -No opportunities for advancement outside of Cleveland -Groupthink mentality by the Technical Senior Management, think like us or leave attitude prevents new ideas and innovations -Raise system is backwards. The better you become at your job, the less raise you get -Superstar employees get burned out quickly because they are not rewarded or recognized. Networkers get more recognition and appreciation although they produce fewer results -Company does not appreciate education. Advanced degrees are treated with less respect than Bachelors level. -No guidance or direction from Human Resources in advancing your career. -Corporate being in Cleveland prevents the company from being so much more. Many suppliers state how they hate going to Cleveland to do business because the city is a "dump".
