Pros

Pros: - The people are dedicated and fun to work with. - Ability to move around to learn and try new things. - Recognition by certain management is done well while others struggle. - Excellent worklife balance and flexibility but it depends on the job you do and the group you are in. - Used to have a really good benefits package. Compensation was always so-so.

Cons

Cons: - - Some employees seem to rise quickly and so many people wonder why. - Compensation and benefits are swirling drain. Not competitive especially for those in IT which leads to highly skilled employees finding a better situation elsewhere quickly. - In tough times the "You are just lucky to have a job" doesn't really work especially in IT. - Morale is low. - It kind of feels like the Senior Management is just running the company into the ground. WY used to have a diverse portfolio that would help it get through tough times but all of those businesses were sold off leaving building materials and real estate which are a recipe for disaster in a bad housing market.

Pros

Majority of people want to do the right thing. People generally treat each other with respect.

Cons

Business practices are behind the times. They were trying to catch up, but the severe downturn in housing starts caused massive layoffs and process improvement is suffering. Businesses (wood products, real estate, and cellulose fibers) are tied too much to housing, and their large holdings of timberlands will probably be spun off into a REIT. Will not be a good place to work for a few more years.

Pros

Very nice campus, good about sick time, good telecommuting options, van share, free bus pass. No other pros I can think of.

Cons

Really bad place to work these days. Going thru major downsizing, no opportunities for advancement, no technology advancement. Continuously shrinking company.
