A truly horrible place to work.

Pros

It is one of the only companies in the PNW doing what it does, so if you want a career in logistics, it is one of the only places to be.

Cons

The pay is low, work place is highly monitored. Manager berate employees and snoop. A truly bizarre experience.

Pros

Stability Slow pace Lots of time to start personal projects Located in downtown Some good benefits Upper management is great

Cons

Middle management is the worst I have seen, they all fear for their jobs and want to feel good by doing the work their way and cutting their people's ideas off. They just want to impress their managers. Too many passive-aggressive people. Too much talking and little action. Directors are the same as nothing, they are in a stable position and it is not convenient for them to improve anything. The round-table discussions are pathetic. Military culture, the ones who express their opinions are doomed Business throws the ball to IS court, and IS does the same to business, no ownership, nobody looks for solutions, nobody embraces a project, they just want to cover their asses by blaming someone else. Of course nobody embraces a project, there is no recognition by results, but by favoritism and seniority. Lack of communication among departments and among people in the same department. People don't come first, if you get in, you are just one more.

Stable Company - Avoid the IS department

Pros

- Stable company, no layoffs - professionalism - May be a good career move if you need experience or require the stability of a full-time job

Cons

- Little or no career growth in the IS Department - Yearlong "moratorium" on deployments of software essentially means no business features for a whole year - IS department is overstaffed, so you have to do busywork - input from technical people is strongly discouraged---all ideas have to come from management - micromanagement -- be prepared to provide multiple updates in multiple formats - IS Director & review panel approval is required to perform the smallest tasks, such as turning on a service that has been halted - rather than use industry-standared technologies, they develop "homegrown" solutions. Stability is a daily concern. -dress code - limited vacation - management always assumes that employees are out to harm the company.
