Get Promoted then get Fired, questionable HR ethics

Pros

Fun projects and great people to work with. The main campus has wonderful meeting spaces to meet with customers and outside vendors with fabulous in-house cafeteria and the building is LEED certified with natural light. (but it shines directly into your eyes during a few weeks each spring and fall)

Cons

Manager promoted me within the department, then same manager put me on probation for "not meeting expectations". I was gone within a year. I was there a total of 5 years. It was a really weird experience. HR department was difficult to work with and lied (didn't tell the whole truth) to the unemployment insurance office. The company touts its high ethics - but I did not find that to be true.

Truly a GREAT company!

Pros

Loved the cooperative business model; never had to question if the company cared about its employees (and their families), customers or members. The health benefits and work/life balance are phenomenal! There's a lot of cross-functional collaboration across the organization and individuals are provided the tools they need to succeed. Employees at all levels of the organization are part of decision making processes--sometimes almost to a fault.

Cons

Advancement opportunities are limited. The paid time off plan and compensation package are competitive; however, the market is very competitive with a turnaround in the economy and the oil boom in NW North Dakota. Cooperatives are very conservative and work through change management slower than other business models; not always a bad thing, but something to keep in mind.
