Pros

Some of the people are great; benefits are "O.K.; continuing education is strongly encouraged; flexible hours.

Cons

Antiquated software and automation programs; senior management takes way too long to make decisions; almost everything done by consensus vote as senior management scared to make decision; silo mentality between departments.

Pros

There are some hard working people who are trying. Easy to rise up in several departments if you’re motivated because the salaries are so weak it’s tough to attract good people. It’s a lot like Club Med. You can see people walking around the building’s parking lot all hours of the day and nobody says anything (Yay wellness!!!) It seems to keep succeeding in spite of its senior managers.

Cons

Slowly disappearing benefits Need to squabble over money constantly Upper Management doesn’t make decisions (nobody wants to be wrong) Too many catchy acronyms that are soul killing and meaningless. ACE is the flavor of the year, nice aiming point but a complete joke when this place is steeped in processes that make zero sense and are not agile, collaborative or engaging.

Pros

Great coworkers (excluding management), 401K with matching contribution, holidays off (mostly) and several "hidden" benefits such as local discounts. They have a deli on-site that is run by a GREAT family.

Cons

Outdated and unsafe facilities and equipment, high stress, consistent micromanagement, extreme politics and backstabbing from top to bottom, hypocritical policies and strategies, apathetic view of employees-everyone is a number and nothing more outside of a few middle managers. This company constantly begs you to donate to the United Way, and at times will make you pay for incentives such as wearing jeans. There are more meetings going on than there is working. There is a lot of red tape with most positions, and in an effort to "simplify" work flow, things become unnecessarily complicated and counter-productive.
