      Pros

      Good place to work for many years. All the positives have been erased by new management which has killed the heart and soul of the company.

      Cons

      No sense of TEAM. It's everyone for himself. Promotions, bonuses and raises must be gained from taking down someone else. Not a healthy environment.

      Pros

      Good assets, great industry to be in. (Any company could be profitable in this current environment in the US). Was a great place to work with individual and team contributions that were rewarded and respected until new management came in and wiped out long-term people and placed sole focus on cutting costs and spending less.

      Cons

      Management obsession with cutting costs is unhealthy and unsustainable. Individuals are not valued -- simply used and tossed aside. Good-old-boy network constructed by the CEO has run off good people and left the CEO surrounded by yes-men (people) afraid to stand up to him. Employees are fearful of speaking up -- knowing that bad news results in terminated messengers.
