Great international company, bad local management

Pros

Learned a lot, met some great people. The company as a whole has great benefits and great standards.

Cons

The local office in Lincoln, NE is not well managed. The managers are more concerned with egos than with doing what is right for the company. They manage to twist well-meaning policies in a way that holds back the employees. There is very little room to grow within the organization. Raises are lousy and quality of life stinks. Managers treat employees more like children. Initially, the staff was fantastic, but the company ran most of the people off because they seemed to be more interested in hiring less-qualified people and churning through them in order to keep costs down. It's downright exhausting!
