Mixed feeling about this company

Pros

Good atmosphere, flexibility, wide array of benefits, reasonable pay, leadership with integrity

Cons

Expensive health insurance, no real bonus, lack of development and training, company doesn't pay for licenses or certifications but they give a slight salary bump upon receiving the credentials. They lack talking to employees seriously about their future growth. Performance evaluation is just another task supervisors have to do semi-annually but it is truly meaningless. Senior managers are people who have been in the company for over 10-15 years.

Pros

Regular performance reviews and 5% raises every 6 months, good benefit, good (physical) work environment and resources

Cons

very cheap on their budgets. did not compensate for overtime many times, $200 budget for company picnic of 60 people, laid off half of the office when a large project was cancelled with 2 weeks compensation pay...after most people had stayed working and paid themselves using vacation pay, and then stayed working for free for hopes to keep a job. no reimbursement for the free time or vacation pay used. asked me to get certified as a diver for underwater bridge inspections and told me they would reimburse me, but then renegged 3 months later when i was certified saying that the insurance for a diver was too expensive so they werent going with that plan anymore. worst part to me was they didn't list a position on their company intranet page. The position was at an office close to my house and was for a position that was everything i had been looking for on their intranet page. The division manager said he didnt' think we'd be interested so he didnt ask us. People who had worked there for 30 years and should have had corner offices were in the cubicle next to me. I say that because they were good based on what I heard them doing on a daily basis. Compared to another guy who claimed 30 years of experience but had only been there a year and he just stared out his corner office window all day and could never answer a question. Great BSer though..
