"How not to manage your family owned company." You could write a text book on this co.
Pros
Exposure to many departments of the company is common; you can learn a lot in a short time period because is this. Truthfully, if you are green you can learn a LOT about how not to run a company; which can be an incredibly valuable lesson for your business future. There are many REALLY good people here that great to work with and have fantastic vision and potential - but unfortunately they are completely overlooked. A great manager/engineer at KP, visionary and talented young manager in Mansfield, several fantastic engineers and IT techs here in corporate, many more all totally underutilized and underappreciated. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL PRAISE!
Cons
15 years ago is roughly when I hired on, salary was decent but benefits were amazing and that is why I made my choice. Since then things have deteriorated, benefits slashed blaming the recession all while the company maintained record margin. Now the benefits are average at best and salary below average. I've waited it out hoping for the company to make the right decision and boost total compensation back to average or above average but that looks like it is not going to happen. No support or "reward system" for thinking outside the box or driving positive change. In many cases this causes high levels of inefficiency. I pain to say this but because of the above, there are many of us that have been around the block that know the system and skate by looking like heroes while these younger ones who are really making progress get steam rolled. Reading the other reviews reinforces this. I can't watch anymore.
