Pros

Job is empowered to make decisions that make your job easier. People I work with are generally good workers and friends.

Cons

So many people have left that there is a skill deficit in the service groups. Pay policies are pretty unpopular. Bonus system is non-existent. Beaurocracy is extremely burdensome - big reason many have left for greener pastures.

Pros

Possibility to move up at the facility level is there if you stick around long enough because most people end up quitting within 2 years due to terrible work environment. Benefits are O.K.

Cons

Cult-like corporation with MBM brainwash. Company culture is a joke because it preaches all the right things but isn't followed by management at all. MBM is manipulated by people and used to get what they want at whatever cost. Most people just use the buzz words like "adding value" with a few of the guiding principles drizzled in sentences from time to time. No pay raises at all unless you get hired to a new position. Even then they probably won't give you much of a pay raise if at all. Absolutely HORRIBLE management environment. Managers that are well known for being terrible managers are allowed free reign to do as they please as long as they get results. This drives a company culture of a lot of miserable employees that are treated terribly with the worst managers I have ever seen leading the pack. Environment was filled with backstabbing and malicious politics. Absolutely toxic environment.
