Pros

Great benefits, job security, company is stable. Fast paced and challenging. Beautiful city, wonderful, hard working and competent employees.

Cons

Terrible supervisory and lower management. They black ball people they don't like, will fire for a mistake instead of letting you learn from it. Management think they know it all and won't listen to employees. Terrible annual review system- no goals given so you can't show great work and goal accomplishments. The R&D are obviously the favorite group and get most of the money allocation. Employees who mention problems to HR are basically told to shut up.

Just Wants to Look Good to Outsiders

Pros

The health insurance is good. Salary, however, is NOT competitive.

Cons

Low salary! They expect employers to have a strong educational background with experience, but do not pay accordingly. Also, overtime (and working nights and/or weekends) is not compensated. I often feel like I am working for two. The majority of managers and supervisors are not able to organize and delegate tasks. All Tolmar cares about is looking good to outsiders.

Pros

Looked good on my resume and that's about it. Glad I left when I did!

Cons

Awful managers and Supervisors: Expect one to work 50 hours a week. I was told that overtime would be required once or twice a month. I don't think that I ever worked less than 45.
