So much unrealized potential

Pros

I was able to work from home whenever I needed to. They basically let me own my work completely and do what I felt was needed to get to the final goal without interference.

Cons

"Without interference" also includes without any apparent interest from anyone in the value of my contribution, despite continually saying how important it was. After taking on not only the work of the vacated position I was hired to fill, but also rolling in the the work of two consultants who were let go not long after I started, I managed to not only keep the project from imploding completely but stabilized it, made it extensible, and made it into a platform for delivering value to the company. I felt more than justified in asking for a raise, but was turned down with a comment about not seeing a "return on investment". Somehow, stonewalling for two years on expanding the team beyond just me (when the scope of work easily would have occupied 4+ people from the very beginning) even after saving them the cost of two consultants is viewed by this company as an "investment". Thanks, you can keep your investments. All things considered, they seem to operate from a mindset of doing as little as possible for their employees -- for example, they only pay out PTO at termination if legally required to by the state the employee works in. My manager spoke with me just one single time after I gave my notice, despite talk of a transition plan to make sure I left as much knowledge behind as possible. And I feel like I really did ... but honestly, who cares? Not them.

Pros

Great atmosphere with a decent work/life balance. We do a lot for the community, charity walks and stuff like that...they promote themselves well in the community.

Cons

You work like crazy and then when it comes time for a raise they look at you like you should feel blessed to work there. Then you don't get a raise b/c your not meeting their unrealistic expectations, or if you are meeting their crazy goals they change them b/c your "making too much $$". When they realize their goals are way out in left field they don't rein them, they wait till the next year to adjust. Everything they do is take care of their shareholders which is no one in the company outside of "C" level execs. Your basically working to be the steps for everyone else above you.They like the entrepreneurial minded people, which is awesome...but they tend to crush that out of you. In the end don't plan on getting any stock options that would help keep that entrepreneurial fire in you...

BIG TIME DOWNFALL

Pros

it used to be a great place to work and I loved working there. always had OT in the department I worked in, and my bosses loved the way I worked and trusted my judgment on things, and they used to be fair when it came to needing a day off.

Cons

when I first started working there, the place was a great place to learn how to do warehouse work properly. after a while, the management made huge changes to their faculty, and it was a downfall from there. many people lost their jobs due to the company moving only certain departments (which included mine) to a different state, and they had to compensate 20+ peoples job to fit in the rest of the warehouse. many people quit, and a lot of people got let go. theyre also unfair with the way they handle certain situations.
