Pros

Previously before cutbacks, great work environment. Lots of training and excellent Director to work under.

Cons

With jobs being cut, work/life balance is gone. 100+ hours at corporate and it is expected. Upper Management doesn’t care about employees, we have become numbers. Brought in executives that aren’t experienced in the field and are insecure, so constantly looking to scape goat their subordinates! Every single person in my department has either left or is looking to leave. HR doesn’t listen to employees or hear their concerns.

Pros

Hard working, highly educated, high caliber workforce. Extreme commitment to Safety. Strong focus on efficiency and profitability, which is great due to ESOP. Strong in all markets it participates in. Very interesting work. Flat to falling on costs year to year, ensures lean staffing in strong economies and weak economies, so minimal layoffs in weak economy. (bankruptcy in excepted.) New CEO in 1/15 is a breath of fresh air!

Cons

High turnover, kind of a sweat shop, forced ranking often moves people at the top years before to out the bottom a few years later even though no chnage in performance, especially in high performing teams. As a manager, if you do a superior job recruiting high caliber team members, you are eventually penalized by having to force rank strong performers to below average to satisfy "the Curve". Also, when problems occurr, the tendency is to blame people, not systems or policies. Employees feel insecuree about continued employment.
