Pros

Was a good place to work for the better part of 15+ years. Worked on a really good team, even had a decent manager for most of those years. Everyone got things done and worked together as a team should. Good working relationships with other cross-functional groups and accomplished the goals we were given. Pay & PTO was average

Cons

Now for the bad .... when current CEO (former CFO) took over a few years back , the work environment changed, and unfortunately NOT for the better. Over the last couple of years Layoffs in a number of areas commenced and a TON of good experienced, dedicated, hard working people found themselves being shown the door. In many cases jobs were OUTSOURCED overseas, resulting in good people losing jobs, and Lots of tribal knowledge and valuable experience gone!

Lack of vision is hindering the ability to execute

Pros

Really robust PTO policy, large scale, lots of opportunity to improve.

Cons

Executive leadership has provided no vision. Various attempts to cut costs in an attempt to grow which doesn't work. People have become infatuated with what they want to hear vs. what the data tells them.
