      Pros

      Company benefits and compensation were outstanding. Good HR support system. Great career path planning and training availability. Safety is their first priority.

      Cons

      HR doesn't allow you to move fast enough to terminate an employee. Lack of communication from upper management stagnates some of the processes. SAP system is a nightmare. People only know their piece of the pie. Not one single source to go to in order to learn the system. They have become safety stupid instead of safety conscience...drives job costs way up.

      Pros

      Good benefits. Strong safety culture. Many exceptional employees. Good assets.

      Cons

      Outsourcing and reorganizing constantly. Weak implementation of strategy. Making poor short term decisions while claiming to have a long term view of industry and economy. Senior management making questionable ethical decisions in regards to vendor commitments and financial statement presentation.

      Pros

      Good Package and Benefits available

      Cons

      Very aggressive approach to solving problems with a lot of in-house politics and lack of collaboration between departments and teams, Very disappointed in their "me first" attitude with little development available and no progression opportunities,
