Great boss, lousy company

Pros

I work with great people, have a great boss, pay is decent, occasional bonuses, flexible schedule

Cons

High turn over mostly due to lay offs when management has made poor financial decisions and has to cut costs... employees are usually the first to go... continuous change to bonus structure (when we get one).

Pros

Key has many friendly, hard working, committed employees. Safety is highly valued at the highest levels.

Cons

Key has a fear-based culture. Interdepartmental accountability is rare. Fast turnaround is valued over quality work product. There is little employee development and low morale. Ineffective and costly business decisions are made by senior leadership, with the fiscal remedy being to cut bonuses and reduce work force. Some senior leaders have rather large egos that, if not fed, lead to a more difficult work life.
