Pros

TA is a progressive company that help employees achieve the performance goals set by both the employee and the employer together. Work teams are put together from several geographic locations. Sucesses come in small enough pieces that keep the morale high on the team.

Cons

TA has been fortunate enough to acquire several smaller companies. That has proven to be a dilemma for me. I have worked several years to consolidate computer systems. Now we are eliminating the staff that support multiple systems and are consolidating locations. I am looking for something new.

Nice but needs work

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally, it is a nice place to work. The pressure is low. The level of politics is below normal. The hours are reasonable and the people are nice. The company does a lot of little things that are nice. It is also one of the few places that stills offers a decent pension and matching 401k plan.

Cons

It is a company of low expectations. The company does ok but it could be much more than it is. Management has so much in breeding that they think this is normal and do not realize how much better it could be. The bulk of management is where they are because of functional skills not management or leadership skills. It is difficult to bring change or modern techniques to the business since senior management is not well versed in the language of management.
