Pros

There is a divergent attitude if you are in sales versus operations and even division to division. That falls directly on the division presidents and the CEO for lack of a clear cultural objective. Some folks skate by, while others get thrown under the bus. One other plus, if you're lucky enough to be working in Cary, there are plenty of other companies to find employment with.

Cons

Title states it. Culture is 'my way or the highway'. Hope to high heaven that they don't acquire the company that you work for. There is no room for other ideas, it's amazing to see qualified people with experience in some of the best companies in the world get broken into just repeating some of the division leaders same old ideas that don't work. Most of the time that results in them leaving the company after a short time (1-3 yrs max).

Pros

The pay is pretty great. Your fellow employees are super diverse and it allows you to learn a lot about people of all cultures and walks of life.

Cons

You will be overworked and under valued. Depending on their relationship, leads and supervisors will absolutely talk about the employees in inappropriate ways. You will be treated with respect to your face unless you advocate for yourself. Ninety-nine percent of the time, there are cliques within leadership and generally they have very unfortunate views on people who were not born in the US regardless of their work ethic. If you excell at your job, you will be recognized and praised some days and scolded other days for not taking on the work of three different people. Some individuals don't actually care about the job and are just there for a paycheck. Safety is regarded as important in theory but not in reality. Quality is deemed as important, but in reality no one cares. Work-life balance is actually non-existent, no matter how much they claim otherwise.
