Exciting Opportunity, disappointing results

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some outstanding innovations. Small town - no traffic or parking issues. Plenty of social opportunities within the company. Decent schedule with adequate time off (personal and vacation). Pay was better than average.

Cons

Communication is severely lacking from management to the floor. Very much a 'good ol' boy' mentality. They do not promote from within - unless you are willing to sacrifice your soul and become a 'yes man'.
