Pros

Every individual I've come into contact with at Salem has a genuine, caring and interested heart. No matter what the task, or the problem I am encountering (work or personal) there is a helping hand.

Cons

I can't think of any. Perhaps a few less chiefs and a few more Indians?

Pros

The people are great. They value work-life balance. Every quarter they throw a party with catered food and fun and games. I truly can say that I look forward to going to work each day.

Cons

Could use some more official training, like attending conferences. Would love to have a "Paid Time Off" system, where it's all lumped into how many days you get to have off a year. Instead, I have a ton of sick hours that I haven't used up b/c I haven't been sick (which is good :), but that leaves me with less vacation time. Benefits are good besides that tho.

Pros

- Many of the employees are great to work around. - In my department, we are able to set our own hours and the managers are extremely flexible. I know that is not the case in most other areas of the company however. - There are office-wide events to help bring the team together.

Cons

- Pay is not up to par with many other companies/positions in the area. They seem like they will pay you the least amount possible in order to just get what they need done. - Raises are meaningless. When you are started off at such a low pay, getting a 2% raise does not move the needle enough to keep up with the rise of living costs. Yet, there are those in the upper management who get huge raises and bonuses that are merely expanding their already full pockets. - Bonuses are offered, but they are set up in such a way that it is almost impossible to achieve them. I'd much rather just get the higher pay off the bat and then I would have more incentive to do the work. - Management is very poor. If you talked to the head of my dept., I doubt they would even be able to tell you what I am working on or what my position is. - Vacation time is poor compared to other companies, and it takes way too long to accrue the time off. Makes it almost impossible to take a decent vacation - I end up just doing a lot of unpaid days off. - This is a Christian/Conservative company. So, if you are neither of those things, would be best to stay away. I have been able to get use to the stuff that is shoved in my face all the time, but it was rough.
