Pros

Work schedule, vacation time, ESOP

Cons

If you're used to over working while your other coworkers slack off and do nothing, then this is the place for you! Management acts like they care about employees when in fact all they care about is having employees who don't question their lack of accountability towards others. Mistakes are often made and responsibilities end up being taken up by other workers because the "leads" choose to do nothing. Favoritism at its finest and if you've served your time over a year or so, you can bet you will keep your job even though you pawn off your work to others. Try speaking to management about it and response will be lack of teamwork by you and others- no accountability. Promises are made to others about advancing in the company and it never happens.

Pros

I worked there for 13 years. Not all for Border States. We ended up "Merging" with BS around 7 years into my Employment, With all of the hopes and dreams promised that culture would never change. In fact that is WHY they wanted us to be a part of their team. During my time there I really enjoyed the people that I worked around in my office, and learning new things and helping others.

Cons

Flash forward to the last 3 years of my employment with BS. We have moved into a new office that is 2-1/2 times further away than our original location was. Culture has taken a 180 degree turn(if you can call it a culture anymore) All of the sudden your weeks are more full of random "Lunch and Learn" meetings and various "what went wrong here office conversations". Management doesn't even have enough time to manage due to consistently being on conference calls with whatever new position the "Board" has decided to whip out of thin air.
