Great company to work for, though they are rather non-competitive in pay.

Pros

Great work and safety culture. Decent work/life balance. They are good about getting you the training you need to do your job and grow in your career.

Cons

Non-competitive pay. They will get you in as low as they can, and raises do not necessarily reflect your annual performance evaluation. Reorganizations are too frequent.

Awesome department, but bad feeling about HR

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-Given responsibilities and opportunity to grow unlike any other company I've worked for -Opportunity for self-betterment -Volunteering opportunities -Everyone is extremely friendly -Laidback -Family type feeling in certain departments

Cons

I'm pretty sure favoritism played a huge part and I got the short end of the stick. I worked hard and I saw my coworkers work their behinds off, but there wasn't enough credit to be shared it seemed. Also my HR representative always "joked around" with me, but I felt personally harassed and that she talked behind my back to turn others around me. HR was my only real bad experience, but I personally loved my job in itself. (I still think about it to this day, I'm a rather friendly person and keep out of office politics, and I've never figured out why she was so rude and unprofessional to me)

Great midwestern culture. Most of the people there are team players and not volitile by nature.

Cons

Sometimes a little too passive and "nice"
