It's good or bad, depending on the department manager

Business Outlook

Pros

This company goes through phases where it is well balanced between personal and professional lives. It is highly focused on the safety of employees and has great wages.

Cons

Some department leadership has soured the great reputation (read Customer Service) and turned the department from a great group working together to everyone watching their back.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible working hours, pension and 401K, competitive salary, opportunities for personal development and cross training, high job security, big emphasis on safety, and a great internship program

Cons

Experience is highly dependent on your manager and it's very much a top down micromanage approach. Historically people rather than process based, so it is incredibly frustrating when you're new because everyone does things their own way and you just have to know who to talk to. Extremely difficult if you don't fit into the typical mold. Progress is paralyzed because all decisions come from the top and everyone is in full cya mode. Longstanding toxic relationships result in silows, poor communication and general frustration and confusion.
