Poor Department Management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, good hours, adequate pay.

Cons

Department manager doesn't listen to employee feed back. People hired in the department are just considered a body, regardless of their experience, work ethic, willingness to contribute and work as a team. It's an entitled type of work environment. The company couldn't care less about their employees. They recently fired anyone that submitted a religious exception. It's their way or the highway.
