Pros

Good people who can still remember good ol' times, support of work life balance and professional development. Tenured folks who are optimists.

Cons

Misguided corporate initiatives, miopic and micromanaging senior management. Directors who do not have the backgrounds needed to lead in roles with inflated titles. Promoting lean business has burned out some of the brightest, best and hardworking people at the company.

Pros

Puts food on the table. Seeing other reviews with high ratings makes me wish I could stuff my head in the sand too. But...

Cons

HR is an absolute joke in the role they play for the company. If you're looking to apply or interview, don't instill trust in HR and be ready to be jerked around. The company hands an embarrassing amount of power to HR, who is very blind to real work that takes place. There are a lot of big ego's, empty promises/commitments, lies to the public, and generally a lack of integrity. If you're looking to become a term/temp employee; it will most likely not turn into a permanent position regardless of good work or sacrifices you make for the company. The company is extremely fat in the regard of wasted time and resources. More effort is taken to talk about being lean but literally nothing truly done. Spend $100K to save $1. Their seemingly good stewardship to the public and environment is not because they want to, it is because they are mandated to by the federal government. I won't dog on them anymore...

the regular employees are great

Cons

Poor management, deceptive. They promise you whatever you want to hear during the job offer and then take it away once you accept the position.
