Pros

Many smart people who are fun to work with. Good work life balance. Sense of humor throughout the organization.

Cons

They have no road map or clear vision for the future. Nepotism exists and high salaries are spent on many who don't contribute. Many upper management are lacking the values they preach; those values are nonexistent in the way the company is run. Too many layers of so called "management"; the middle layer is a financial drain with actual contribution.

We are, as you know, a dynamic organization with our own strengths and weaknesses. As we continue to grow and change, we welcome the opportunity to address these concerns. We certainly aim to be as adaptable and transparent as possible with our leadership, while also improving upon our communication and employee development. I regret to read that this was not your experience; and I would welcome a discussion, should you like to speak with any member of our HR team directly.

Pros

The lower management is good except when "yes people" are hired. Team is great, always ready to help each other to complete what needs done. Other teams are good however often their management are very insulting.

Cons

Under paid and over worked They will say you're like family and then drop you the moment without question and without cause. They do not live up to their values. They will promise things they don't follow through on. Management hires "yes men/women" for leadership roles. Management will often tell you what you think is wrong...and basically say you're stupid for bringing it up. Upper Management will knowingly hire less qualified leaders to save a buck. They'll expect you to work more and if you're hourly you will not be approved for overtime without having to write a dissertation first...and it will probably be denied. Good luck with your deadlines. Training is haphazard at best, (mainly because they don't use people with training skills, just people that are the closest friends of management)
