Pros

Wide variety of categories to work on. Friendly workers with in departments but strangers outside.

Cons

Silo mentality. In-bred. Many workers have worked there way up from grocery store bagger and do not know any other company. Management decisions go up into a black hole and if they come down they are often too late to be proactive. Hence the company has a tendency to wonder quite a bit.

Business Outlook

Pros

Focus on environmental responsibility, good community volunteer program with opportunities for employees to participate. Dedicated hard working people in many positions. Company continues to attract high caliber line employees.

Cons

Company eliminating ESOP program, focusing now on rewarding executives and senior managers rather than line employees. Benefits declining. Pay below market for technical, professional class employees. Company culture changing due to hiring of outside managers rather than promotions. Unclear career paths. Mid level managers autocratic and do not listen. Professional employees expected to work during vacations if needed. Offices run down and dirty. Computer system absurdly out of date.
