Pros
Benefits are good if your single. The HSA plan works well for families if the employee can avoid visiting the doctor for two years. Decent emphasis on training with management and communciation classes available. Company has good cash flow and strong financial performance despite bad economy. Bill Dorey is a good person challenged with direct reports who don't follow his message.
Cons
Vague messages from top level management regarding when layoffs will occur. 150 employees were laid off last October. This came as a complete shock to anyone outside of corporate headquarters in Watsonville. Things have become progessively worse regarding scrutiny of costs and safety. It seems like even 15 dollar purchases need to be reviewed by management these days. The latest reorg has not worked at all. Most administrative employees have two bosses, one at their region who is the functional boss while their direct line manager resides in Watsonville. This results with conflicting directives between the two managers with the administrative employee caught in the middle. The new CFO, CIO, and COO come across cold and uncaring about the workers on the front lines.
