Finally upgraded decor and added a cafeteria. Lots of good people around.

1. No work life balance...in fact it has been said the balance needs to be towards work. 2. Micro-managed 3. Growth opportunities are few, they would rather hire from outside 4. Low pay 5. Not flexible on vacation time 6. Against working remote 7. No direction from management 8. Certain areas are just broken (Accounting, IT, HR) Others are constantly re-structured 9. Bad management from the top down 10. No training

Pros

Good opportunity for growth IF you are willing to give up balance of family work. Culture has changed for the positive. No more carpeting on the cubicles. Better atmosphere, meeting rooms and cafeteria.

Cons

Senior mgt asks for input and opinions but doesn't really care. New senior mgt that loves the big picture and doesn't understand what it takes to get things done. Will churn through people without hesitation. HR department is as cold hearted as the last WI winter. Pay us below average.

Pros

Potential for growth is great.

Cons

Poor benefits, no real push to create the change necessary to take the business to the next level. Upper management wants to create new processes, but won't fully fund the technology to create "excellence."
