Pros
The division I worked at has an interesting product and a devoted customer base.
Cons
Upper management doesn't have a clue about the companies they bought to put this holding company together. In fact, upper management doesn't have a clue about running any company. Employee morale is in the toilet, yet when an employee satisfaction survey was taken, corporate management essentially said "tough sh*t"-- don't let the door hit you on the way out." Corporate has an undue fascination with management theories-- the kind that you find on the newsstand right next to the "diet of the week" books. There is no organization chart, and Aquila thinks that not having one promotes cross-training and employee development. It's tough being in a place where the "Founder, Chairman and CEO" is so universally despised.
