Pros

Was once one of the best companies to work for in Minneapolis. Had a long term view that allowed it to grow during cyclic economic times Great coworkers who cared about their colleges and doing what was right for the company. People were always willing to put in extra effort to get things done

Cons

Leadership decided to off shore most of IT as well as finance, accounting and several other functions. What once was a great place to work has become toxic as jobs were off shored or eliminate. Those that survived are walking on egg shells as they wait for the next axe to fall. Leadership is driven by corporate politics. Salary increases, promotions and retention are driven by if your in the right clique. Even the retained top talent is leaving these days. The impact the lose of tribal knowledge and top talent will have wont truly be felt for a few more years. When the lose is recognized it will be too late and recovery will be long and painful Leadership appears to be driven by short term goals.

Pros

Was once a good company to work for with great co-workers, job stability.

Cons

Horrible, dishonest management, particularly concerning false comments made on performance reviews. Sourcing of IT and other work outside of the US is a big mistake. Implementation of new ERP system very poorly executed. Poor communication throughout the organization.
