Pros

Laid back environment, nice building, some talented workers, good work/life balance, strong growth track (for an investor).

Cons

Terrible corporate culture that breeds undermining and non-best practices (many people afraid to challenge management, an above average amount of poor decisions and rework based on the iron fist approach). Many in management and executive management lack strong leadership skills when it comes to people (the culture is proof of this as well as how many talented people have left). Not even close to competitive salaries (non-management) in comparable areas like Indianapolis or St. Louis relative to the cost of living adjustments (which are minimal). Like other organizations in Effingham, Midland has a monopoly on local talent that want to stay in Effingham, they can underpay and do so. Little to no advancement opportunities. Lack of training budget and talented workers to help train/keep younger employees.
