Highly Volatile Public Sector Employer

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

There is an ability to have a position of stability if you can negotiate the work rules and "forced" participation in labor unions.

Cons

Very "union oriented" pro-labor working environment with multitudes of work rules. Political, elected Board of Directors interfere continuously with staff work & behavior. Highly volatile management structure with minimal support from upper management.

Pros

The benefits used to be good. Not sure if they are now.

Cons

There are some good people here, but for the most part this is an environment of backstabbing and people who will throw you under the bus if it helps their career. The Board of Directors don't care about the employees and morale suffers as a result. The unions keep bad employees around at the expense of the good ones.

Pros

Well established company Great benefits Plenty of busy work, if you don't mind looking for it Strong Union

Cons

Part of the problem is the Union in that people that should no longer be working there are kept on regardless of their work performance or contribution to their department or the company as whole In certain departments, there can be undercutting, sniping, and pretty much alot of pettiness on the part of SOME employees
