Not a good place for a long career

Pros

Pay is good. Products are high quality and company has a long history in their product lines. Culture at satellite locations can be motivating if executive management does not squash it.

Cons

Executive management is quite harsh and I felt that I was in the military instead of corporate America. Things can go well until there is some problem with upper management.

Pros

Lots of room for improvement, higher management very open to new projects, true open door policy. Very strong culture of "can-do" & "go-get".

Cons

The vast majority of the current employees are resilient to change. You have to be able and willing to wear multiple hats (pro for me, but cons for most).

Pros

They pay well but it's not worth working in this environment.

Cons

Management treats their employees like dirt. They micromanage and think that by applying pressure and threatening to fire you that it will motivate you to work harder. They expect you to do the job of more than one person and don't understand when the work doesn't get done. Their processes are broken because no competent people stay working for a company this horrible. Their systems and IT department are a joke. Paul Manning is just like senior. Keep family OUT of a public company. I'm surprised the SEC hasn't shut them down yet.
