Major growing pains going on at Ellsworth

Pros

Fairly secure job environment, nice coworkers. Has a lot of potential in the future.

Cons

Disorganized, not enough training for new or existing employees. They lag in competitive pay for long term employees and are getting to the point that earning a bonus is nearly impossible. Bad communication within the company and most communication is negative based. No tuition reimbursement unless you are upper management. No opportunity for advancement for folks in the field.

Pros

Newer facility. Private walking trail.

Cons

A lot of playing favorites in the office. Upper management ignores issues between team and leads/Managers. They cover an axe wound with a band aid in hopes it will go away. A lot of quality disgruntled employees were pushed to the limit and subsequently left. It became a revolving door. Pay is no longer competitive for the amount of work done. VERY LOW!!! The overall expectations far outweighed the compensation. I have less than half the work load for far more pay at my new employer. Plus none of the red-tape that came with it! The software was extremely outdated and not user friendly. Work life balance is no longer conducive with the market, and "favorites" are allowed to work from home. Others are asked to be in the office with no explanation as to why. My direct manager was rarely in the office, and when they were they caused issues for the employees. Everyone was actually much less stressed when they were gone. It was a blessing when they were not there. The culture near the end of my career there was nothing like it used to be when I first started. The family friendly atmosphere was gone because of upper management's lack of empathy for the employees working under their managers and leads. They became obsessed with the bottom line rather than keeping the people who helped bring in their revenue happy. I would never recommend this employer to anyone. Especially if certain management is still there.
