Pros

Was a great company at one time. Freedom to set own direction Newer office space Great fellow employees

Cons

Long time employees overlooked for advancement Responsibility (blame) pushed to lowest level employee while Sr. mgmnt absolves themselves of any responsibility. Secret deals, hidden agendas, lip service on advancement, fall back on "Market Value" as an excuse for low pay scale. Always looking outward for talent and ignoring the people who have helped get them there.

Pros

Salary good if this is all you work for.

Cons

Absolutely no job security. Management is not competent and demonstrates this by philosophy that we are all replaceable. Very high turnover in Salaried Group. Company is poor at communication, teamwork and people development. Expected to use your personal vehicle and cell phone to conduct company business. Company does not provide tools to do your job. Career advancement not related to qualifications.Company claims to be improving but does not walk the talk.

Growth Company - (need to focus on organization design & people investment)

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company continues to make strategic acquisitions that will help the company grow and become less dependent on storms. Very product and innovation focused with the mindset to being a market leader.

Cons

The company's focus is top line growth, without taking into consideration that organization design and integration "go hand-in-hand". As the company continues to grow the focus needs to be on people development and organization integration of teams within current businesses and new acquired businesses. There is far too much turn-over, which creates for a negative culture.
