Direct managers are good, executives not so much

Pros

Direct managers are very good and work hard to help you get things done and be successful

Cons

Executive management is openly condescending and insulting to employees, particularly anyone who works remotely, to directly quote them from their last company town hall “we know remote workers think they are being productive”. This extends to policy decisions as well as compensation decisions, as an example this year they have announced, despite excellent financial performance they will not even consider a general cost of living raise

Why bother

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with locally.

Cons

Big talk about advancement and career growth but it is all talk. All talk no action regarding career development. Senior leadership not interested in the people at the plant level. The more dedicated you are the worse they treat you. RIFs and restructuring are a complete joke. Used to get rid of people you don’t like or question some of the stupid decisions that are being made. Seniority means absolutely nothing. Annual reviews don’t mean a thing.
