Business Outlook

Pros

They have great medical and vision coverage. Nice employees. Benefits were great and the 401K was worth it. Not much else.

Cons

Management changed to often. Working conditions were the worst I had ever experienced. Constant change in what or how the company wanted things done no matter what it concerned. Back stabbing and favoritism ran at all levels of the company. Every manager would say they were concerned about you, but you were damned for missing work if fallen ill. Reprecussions for anything that was said or done even if management had little or nothing to say about an issue from the begining. I would never work there ever again.

Pros

The people you worked with (past tense). Everyone is leaving the place.

Cons

- Worn down and decrepit facilities that they will spend no money to fix or upgrade. - Everyone works in a silo, you can't talk to another department without asking for permission - No one knows the end game or goal of the area leadership because they never talk to anyone - Not allowed / can't make a decision as a supervisor or manager - No one in key positions, you end up having to work 12-16 hours a day as a manager/supervisor - No trust among any level of staff in the organization
