Poor leadership and outsourcing harm IT effectiveness

Pros

For IT, there aren't really any.

Cons

Exceptionally poor leadership from the IT senior lead team. And it has been for years. Then they decided last year to burn the social contract they had with their internal IT staff and outsource the IT department. They outsourced to India at the cheapest price, only focusing on the bottom line and not the effective management of IT resources. It's lead to inefficient, poor service to the larger business. But as Tom Hamic would say, "we're not an IT company." Such a dismissive and short-sighted understanding of what we did. If you're in IT, don't apply here. You aren't valued.

Pros

Good employees to work beside. Nice facility

Cons

Awful management and supervisors. They have no interest in improving the plant or looking out for the people working under them. They’ll happily give you two or three jobs and expect you to perform all of them without compensation. Oh and god forbid anyone goes on vacation, they’re not going to fill that spot while they’re gone. Way too many politics going on at the upper levels that always trickles down to the floor. There’s a reason this company continuously loses money on their box manufacturing side. Not a bad place to make money for a year but do not make any plans on staying. Worst place I’ve worked in my life. I would recommend all of my enemies to work here
