A great company to work for with a great company culture

Pros

Tri-State is a company that truly takes care of their employees. The benefits are great and the company culture is one unheard of. I can honestly say that I am happy when I walk through the doors. Tri-State expects great things out of their employees but also doesn't expect all of their time. It is very rarely where you will have to work weekends or late nights (usually only when there is an unexpected problem, which does not happen frequently). Tri-State is moving at an exponential rate in business decisions and in benefits for their employees. I could tell from the recruiting process that Tri-State cares a lot about their employees and it only continues to grow each and every year.

Cons

Some of the employees do their work everyday in the mindset of "that is how we have always done it" instead of looking for ways that could be innovated or altered for the better. This also seems to be changing because of the new CEO. He is doing a great job in creating a new way of thinking and making the company morale even better than it was!

Rewarding place to work.

Pros

Cooperative business model means what I do makes a difference. Benefits are exceptional - good health insurance, dental, and unheard of retirement (401k PLUS defined). Family oriented and friendly employees. New CEO is making exceptional changes to culture and morale.

Cons

Had a hard time getting through on-line recruiting system when I applied. Worth the struggle but would be good to have a better system. Positive movement with changes in management but some room to grow in leadership skill sets in middle management.

Tri-State is going places!

Pros

There are great benefits (medical, dental, vision) but also Tri-State contributes to my 401K and my pension plan. It's hard to find employers who do that anymore. I have worked at Tri-State for 3 years and I am seeing so much improvement from when I started. In the last year a new department called Organizational Development was created with the mission of improving the organization. They have been great with updating policies and practices. Also they are helping make Tri-State more competitive with other organizations. I can't wait to see where this company is at in 5 years!

Cons

There are some employees who have worked at Tri-State for 20 years +. While this is good because it shows people love working here, sometimes they can be stuck in their ways. Being a younger employee it has been an obstacle convincing some employees that processes can be improved from 10 years ago. Like I mentioned in my Pro's I believe the organization is already showing large improvements by hiring employees who are open to change.
