Pros

Hard working, helpful. friendly co-workers. Reputable local company from a customer viewpoint.

Cons

The other reviews regarding management are accurate. Upper Management should assess the moral and unethical behavior in the Dover Engineering department. Staff are fearful of retaliation so they will not speak up. It is a valid question that the other reviewer posed- "How could 1 manger hire and fire 6 people for 1 position in a year's time and not come under some sort of review?" Perhaps upper management is not aware of the turnover but Human Resources knows and should be accountable for addressing such concerns. This is a shame because the existing GIS infrastructure is wasted because of poor management. Be advised that this company advertises the GIS position under various titles and through temp agencies as well.

Pros

Most people (not in management) are very nice.

Cons

Extremely horrible middle management! Many department managers are horrible horrible people. I've seen 4 great employees quit some departments in a very short amount of time. Upper management fails to address employee concerns!!! Unless you have nowhere else to go, don't join this company. What a shame.

Pros

Corporate is in touch with everyone in the company. Executives make it a point to know everyone's names. There is mobility within the company.

Cons

Every company has room for improvement, fortunately Chesapeake makes those changes when necessary.
