Poor Upper Management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The building is very pretty.

Cons

Upper Management needs an immediate overhaul. When there is massive exits from a group, there is something definately wrong with the leader. This is the most unfriendly place I have ever worked. The department head that I am in is over her head and leads by intimidation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive salary base, 401K, benefits, and insurance. High emphasis on safety, as well as operational efficiency. Strong community support.

Cons

Unwilling to upgrade or make repair to areas that would rectify and enhance systems' quality/integrity. Postpone agency regulated/mandated procedures as a convenience in lieu of proper planning.
