Employees are seen as just another resource to "burn & churn"
Pros
It is a well known name in the Portland community and therefore looks good on a resume. It's a good place to gain some experience and then take that skill set elsewhere.
Cons
Management would rather have a lean headcount work 50-60 hours a week than spend money to give their workers a normal workload. Most employees can't take time off. Would rather hire talent from outside than develop talent inside the company. No sucession planning - jobs are created in silos that don't feed to any other positions so there's no growth opportunity. Company culture promotes gossip & back stabbing to get ahead. Promotions & raises are earned by who you know, not how hard you work. Ran by right-wing executives who still think it is the 1990s (uses old technology and refuses to open benefits to domestic partners). Absent Executive Leadership - CEO lives in New York and doesn't have a presence in the corporate office.
