Pros

Very nice co-workers Gives me a place to be for 9-10 hrs a day

Cons

No raises Extreme micro- management Continuous layoffs leaving fewer people to not only handle the missing people's work, but also the all the extra work thrown at them through the consolidation of the businesses. Working for a boss who is extremely unprofessional with employees, forgets what direction is given one day & then rants like a lunatic the next day when you followed the orders. HR is a huge joke No opportunities for advancement

I am disappointed you did not have a good experience. We do have a compensation review process that has been in place for the past 12 months. Please feel free to contact me to discuss the rest of your concerns. I would appreciate the feedback. Thanks, David M. Pasternak Vice President, Human Resources Black Box

Pros

Free lunch only because it's in the middle of nowhere. No restaurants near.

Cons

Poorly managed on every level. Only top execs get raises. Management lacks understanding and empathy. They make poor decisions and do not care what the ones doing the job advise. Breaks promises. No job security, everyone is scared of loosing their job at any time. High volume of employee turnover. A lot of gossip and backstabbing among coworkers.

Pros

There are very few "pros" about this place. There are some nice people that work there. I would say the best thing there is the free coffee that tastes terrible.

Cons

Where to begin? Management is terrible. HALF of the workforce has been terminated and the employees that are still there have to do twice the work as before. It has been 4 years since my last raise.
