Pros

Coworkers/teammates Benefits There are no more and I need to add at least 5 words

Cons

High turnover, non existent work life balance, new managers coming in and without reign making changes to policies and procedures before learning what their employees do and have done for multiple years. Little to no growth opportunities. Uncomfortable atmosphere in some departments that is swept under the rug after complaints. If you are a yes sir employee that has no backbone or voice this place is for you.

Business Outlook

Pros

It has gotten better in some ways. No more yelling at the daily operations meetings. Now it is just politics and opinions. 5 years flew by and there is still a ton of work to do.

Cons

Far too many great people leave. Generally speaking there are great people still there. However a small handful of people have a way of handicapping people in order to climb the corporate ladder. Super easy for people of low talent to get promoted. There is a antiquated path to high performance system that rates people on a bell curve. This system has created a toxic and distrustful working environment. The initial offerings look like great pay and benefits. But over time it dulls, in the face of being a completely unempowered and apathetic work force. Not likely to turn around either since most people have stopped speaking up and new folks don't know any better yet.
