Pros

The people here working in the trenches at Fort Dearborn are great, hardworking people and really worth getting to know. Benefits are decent, (401k with company matching up to 6% after one year, Blue Cross/Blue Shield for medical) but that's about it. They're a decently mid-sized company so there are some opportunities to move up, but to a point. Director-level and higher employees are almost always brought in from outside the company for some reason, and lately there seems to be a lot of new ones. Company is growing almost yearly though acquisitions, and yet, there is a slimming down of staff and "restructuring" that is happening. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians is what is seems like.

Cons

This list of cons far outweighs the pros here. Top management is too focused on getting 65" TVs in their big offices instead of being involved with the workload or stress levels of their employees. The company was purchased by a private equity firm a few years ago and it's been a slow slide down ever since. So long as the ledger is in the black, the company is great, right? Meanwhile, the rest of the staff is drowning in work, stressed beyond belief, and continuously receives poor culture survey results because, well let's face it, how do you build a happy work culture here when you hate coming into work every day? Giving employees a casual dress code is the best that management can come up with? Or is it because it doesn't cost the company any money to do so, but still makes you “competitive in the marketplace”? Poor pay seems to be a common thing I hear from others (not to mention a bonus policy that "exists" but only if you're someone who is high ranking enough to qualify for it), and everyone is starting to just not care. I can't say I blame them. When people who have been here for 10+ years are leaving the company en masse, it's a warning sign. Poor communication from management is a constant theme here, with surprise projects and insanely short deadlines, not to mention sky-high expectations to go along with them. No training when our job duties are changing (you must train on your own time and dime!) and the standards for each plant varies wildly. It's a miracle this place even functions sometimes.

Pros

It's not hard. It's a job

Cons

I'm beyond tired...Nobody should ever have to fight so hard at their job. EVER! It's ALWAYS something. Constant manipulating, lies, and sabotaging. And for what?? We do not work for the White House. Do you get a bonus for every person you're mistreat? What do you do about racism...How do you find trustworthy people in a southern state big on domestic abuse, in which is entertained and encouraged? Crazy making. Projection. Triangulating.
