Pros
Co-workers are family. PTO is above standard for this area.
Cons
Very little accountability - if issues are addressed, it's done as a group and not with the individual. Handful of employees are relied upon for high output while quite a few employees have very low output. Compensation for high output and low output employees are the same. Micro-Managed - Very little input or communication from Management until issue arises or deadline is near. Work Load - Company stance is to cut back staff and force remaining staff to work longer hours. 12 hr days are not uncommon and 16 are not unheard of. They have no problem with employees bring their children in so the employee may continue to work. Expectations of work loads are unreasonable. PTO - You have Paid Time Off but have a difficult time being able to actually take it. They strongly stress what an inopportune time it is take time off...everytime you take off. Job Expectations - Are poorly/loosely defined. They change regulary depending on which department/person is currently not meeting their responsibilities. The Contracts Department in general seems to be the dumping ground for work that is deemed beneath other departments. With the addtional work load comes no relief from prior duties. Company Policy - Is applied inconsistently depending on the department and manager. There is no formal complaint system for/to HR. Emails and phone calls go unanswered and issues go unaddressed. Issues of workplace harrassement/bullying are common.
