No Work Life Balance/High Turnover Rate

Pros

Nice people in areas outside the Order Operations Finance department

Cons

Not owning up to mistakes, department drama, micro manage in the Order Ops group. No balance around holidays, working ton of hours being under compensated, poor training, set you up to fail if you just started in your first year as management puts way too much pressure on you if you cause a high error rate, don't spend time to coach you so you are a successful employee, major power trip over people being promoted, glad I left when I did!

Pros

The pay rate for certain levels of jobs are quite good - even ahead of the norm - which is great.

Cons

The pay rate for lower level jobs are very low - the compensation gap between entry or lower level jobs and mid management or professional is too wide. They run the organization with archaic principles. They don't trust anyone in their organization - they don't value people as professionals. They preach that they are open to making changes to improve employee morale - but it's all talk and no action. Many executives lead by shaming their employees - no positive reinforcement - but tons of negative tongue lashings. There's no internal growth if you are interested in working in other organizations - because each organization will sabotage any efforts to "take" a good employee; even despite the employee's fit for the position, and desire for the change.

Great Expectations

Pros

Competitive Benefits. Dedicated, hard working employees. New building is nice but kind of off the beaten track.

Cons

Old CEO was a tyrant. There were great expectations when new CEO took over. He is, for sure, a decent guy but the old regime is clearly still in place. I guess that management must tell him what he wants to hear and he believes them...... and the dedicated, hardworking, talented people continue to leave in droves. What does that tell you? I think that things are getting worse. Aspen is financially successful and that seems to be the only thing that counts.
