Same people, same processes...same mistakes...same issues
Pros
Eveyrone at least in the Newnan office acts like Family. People are relatively calm mannered and are enjoyable to work with. Stability in the market. Decent benefits. Average pay in the Newnan office.
Cons
Sugarland employees need an Attitude adjustment. Visiting Sugarland from Newnan, its like I was visiting a completely different company. Where is this one company model? Might as well make Sugarland its own affiliate office. YCA is plagued with what many people call the good ole boys club. Lots of long tenure employees. In some respects this speaks highly of the company. However, many of these long timers are in management. They are stuck in their ways...and I mean stuck. The new blood, you know the ones that bring new ideas to the table. Ha! Oh the manager will listen because he/she is trained to. However, best of luck getting any of those ideas to stick. If you like to just come in do your job, get a paycheck this company is for you. Thankfully it sounds like a new COO has started to clean up shop though. If you go for an Interview ask HR what the employee turn over rate is especially if you interview in Sugarland. Sadly the company although stable, isn't growing at the pace other market providers are. Also the US affiliate office is still fairly small in retrospect to other US based organization with similar product lines. So your room for career growth will be hindered by the size of your department. At the time of my departure career growth opportunities were limited. Partly due to the size of the company, but also because the good ole boy club isn't to worried about that.
