We get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but Fort Wayne is being acknowledged over and over again in multiple on line ratings reports as a city that is growing, plugged into the future, provides the best opportunity to own a home or start a career, raise families, enjoy great schools and safe neighborhoods--- the list goes on and on. Check it out on our Careers page or do your own research and we think you'll find that there's a lot of very positive things happening here in Fort Wayne. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources

Pros

Great benefits and plus's for being an employee.

Cons

The management. Upper and lower management. They do not pay attention to any conflict that may happen to the employees.

Please note this is a former employee who stuck around less than a year. The Pros listed above are "great benefits and plus's for being an employee." I have no idea who this is so have no idea what their issue was, but it's the same managers that are being criticized here who supplied the "Pros" listed above. I'd argue we are constantly paying attention to what employees have to say and issues they have. No company is perfect, but we try very hard to listen well and react to any conflicts that do arise.

So obviously this former employee wasn't happy with their employment here, and that's unfortunate. It's interesting to note that the Con comment is "you better be a man if you want to make it at this company"---- and then references her manager, who is a female. So obviously her female manager has been successful in being promoted three different times to achieve her current leadership position. Jeff McDonald, Senior VP of Human Resources
