Pros

Many different divisions, practical company policy of 80/20, good interpersonal relationships in my division. People still feel like family. Highest level of management tries to push more decision making power to the lower levels, which leads to more in-touch-with-the-customer decisions

Cons

Odd policy where few things seem to be written down. Jobs change hands over one conversation instead of through a documented process. Some people don't even have written job descriptions. When big change happens, the plan is figured out after-the-fact instead of before the change happens.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
