HII Response

Its this reason exactly that we are putting efforts toward continued manager training - regardless of how great a company is and the opportunities, it does sometimes come down to a specific bad manager who many not uphold our values or meet our standards for developing and supporting their people. But this is a large company and our hope is that folks are able to explore new teams in order to thrive.

Pros

Being a part of something that very few people get to do.

Cons

Micromanagement by supervisors. Unprofessional behavior by supervisors and co-workers. Hazing and bullying by other employees accepted. Employees are not valued, seen as numbers or chess pieces to move to suit a need. Hostile work environment. Not family friendly at all. Pay is below industry average, but management has the attitude that the employees couldn't find a better paying job anywhere else.
