Pros

Easy to learn, it is just food as they say.

Cons

Corporate trying to save money through Fit for growth, which meant rounds of layoffs of good, experienced professionals who knew how to keep business running with as little waste as possible. Disconnect and distrust between markets and corporate as a result. Restructuring meant those who clung on at corporate through the failed merger clawed their way up through the chaos into management positions. As a result, a lot of bad managers who don't understand how to do their team's roles, let alone manage people. A lot of management by bullying and fear. A lot of promotion through who you know and kiss up to rather than skill. Many good employees left rather than deal with a dysfunctional culture . Success depends on your manager, how well you brown nose those who have power cliqued themselves into higher roles, and how well you can ignore the bullying of those who do not agree with this culture. Upper management looks the other way because they want to save money, but a house built on a poor foundation will not stand for long. Executive leadership has almost completely turned over in past two years. Daily notices of people leaving. Danger, Will Robinson!

Pros

Uhhh......the facility is nice I guess.

Cons

Where to start... The company preaches their silly little corporate culture, but there's very little of it actually in practice. The lower level managers won't hesitate to throw you under the bus if it makes them look good. Some of them are very childish and bully employees. Management seems to have this desire to want to instil the fear of god into the employees with regular layoffs. They laid off 10% in corporate last year and they plan on doing the same in 2017. There's very little loyalty to the employees here, they don't care about you as much as they preach that they do with their "cultural snacks". Don't get comfortable because reorganizations and upheaval are a pretty common occurrence around here.
