Pros

Industry structure and employee passion. The industry lends itself to allowing this company to be a leader and it should be able to be highly profitable and create large shareholder returns. There is a large employee population that are passionate about the company and go above and beyond, with very limited resources and support, to keep the company performing as well as it does.

Cons

Executive management and senior leaders of the company make short term decisions to cut costs, while simultaneously saying (internally and externally) that they make decisions for the long term, not on a quarterly basis. The executives hold themselves to a different standard than they expect from the levels below them -- regarding work ethic, travel, expenses and transparency/truth. Their egos appear to come in to play quite frequently, putting the company valuation in jeopardy.

Pros

Great people at the corporate office, a lot of camaraderie, involvement in community events and activities and an overall pleasant vibe.

Cons

GBS management is a joke, definitely a good old boys club. GBS Directors and Managers (most, but not all) regularly throw temper tantrums and like to throw everyone under the bus, particularly other employees in the same division. If you can work in another division, you'll be fine, come to work in GBS and you'll be miserable. They are hiring a lot of people as a result of an exodus of experienced personnel tired of the constant drama and favoritism. On that same note, avoid HR at all costs, they are especially useless and extremely unethical. Everything you say to them in "confidence" will be taken back to your manager in no time and used against you.

Pros

Good insurance and safety awareness.

Cons

Females don't stand a chance when all top positions are held by middle age white guys. Middle mgmt is same. GBS and HR are jokes.
