Pros

strong compensation and benefits incentive pay for business unit performance given the ability to work independently global travel opportunities

Cons

management inflexible to support work/life balance overly focused on equality so rewards are driven by years of service aging management with limited understanding of the younger generation management in Wamego lacks base skill sets and is afraid to risk for fear of losing a job they aren't qualified for

Pros

It still has a decent benefits package. The company is doing well financially. The future outlook of the company is good.

Cons

The company isn’t as employee friendly as it used to be. Although the benefits package is decent, it is not what it once was. Every year there is a take away from it. The other major con is the location. The majority of the job opportunities are in Peoria, IL. There aren’t many other things around there, and Illinois is becoming an increasingly more expensive state to live.
