Pros

The benefits package was slightly above average and the salary compensation was comparable to other employers in the area.

Cons

The management philosophy was very draconian. If you made a mistake, you were severely punished psychologically and belittled. Managers and team leads do not get ANY training in leadership beyond buzz words. The "Management Values" are not adhered to in any shape or form and frankly were an insulting joke. They would say that they value input, but only if it fits their current view of things. Creativity was squashed and risk taking was actively discouraged. Wolverine is a study in how NOT to manage people. Backstabbing is the only way to get ahead.

Pros

Benefits packages is pretty good Some flexibility of schedule

Cons

-Frantic decision making -CEO is completely out of touch -Lack of direction - long range plans are uncertain -Emergency projects are constant, taking away from daily operational needs while incredibly under-staffed -Work-Life balance is difficult to have without getting in trouble (if you don't respond to calls/e-mails at all hours of the day, it's almost the end of the world) -The "Wolverine Way" is a joke because it's not brought to action by the company
