Not a good company

Pros

I met some of the nicest people I know here. Since the work environment is unhealthy the employees rely on one another heavily for support and encouragement since it will not come from management.

Cons

No training or other development opportunites, micro-management is the norm and no direction from the leadership team. Management does not know how to manage by performance objectives or set attainable goals so they manage by the number of hours they see you at work. It is not necessary to add value or actually do work, just be present all day, every day. Employee morale is very low.

Pros

They pay their vendors in a timely manner.

Cons

Senior leadership over thinks every decision. Very painful to conduct business at this company. Too tight with the financing. Travel requests are not approved until a day or two before the flight departs. Commissions are unduly withheld. Employee turnover is high. No long term business strategy. Poor employee morale.

Pros

Every good aspect of the job was removed, one by one. Benefits were scaled back over and over. Pay was cut.

Cons

Experienced employees were targeted for lay-offs first, while little attention was payed to performance. Inter-department communication was very poor. Honest assertions of needs were interpreted as being confrontational, and were dismissed. Management seemed unwilling to find permanent solutions to reoccurring problems.
