Respect, leadership, communication leaves much to be desired.

Pros

May have had some before the PE acquisition. Too soon to tell right now, but after a year, nothing good to report.

Cons

People are treated like cogs in a machine. Tribal knowledge is worth little to nothing to the new executive management. Huge egos in executive management - they believe they can "manage" their way through everything. Enormous lack of communication about vision, and leading by example. Young talent willing to work hard is trampled over by the illusion of power by mid to upper management. Stereotypical predictable behavior by new management being ruled by a PE firm - making unnecessary changes to justify their new positions. HR is a joke - nonexistent to people who have actual issues, but right out in the open to communicate frivolous changes or additions to policies - ex: "Casual Friday" is their answer to plummeting morale. Stifling micro-management. Implementing new ERP - with this administrations inability to communicate, lead, and make decisions - will be a disaster - perhaps saved only by the hard-working soldiers who care...all of whom have their resumes updated and distributed, I might add. Casualties will continue.

Pros

Historically has been a great place to start your career and gain great work experience in a friendly environment

Cons

Communication on work expectations, performance, compensation, etc. has become extinct. Since the buyout by Private Equity most of the corporate employees have resigned or been fired leading to a very low morale in the office.
