Pros

Direct supervisors are good. Benefits are average.

Cons

Upper management are children of the higher up corporate management. "Family oriented company" but taken to the extreme by management being children of corporate mgt. These children have never had to do any labor type work or work with people at all in any labor or operations related type work. Born into their positions they know accounting from university but have no idea how operations work despite them knowing it all. This is a public company not a private one. If your related, your an idiot for not getting in on tha free ride. If not, your just another 5,000 of us listening to these children.

Pros

1) Current Manager and Dept Head are very supportive with work/life balance. Feel like I can do things outside of work. 2) There are some left in the company with great advice and lessons, have to hunt them down across the company though.

Cons

1) Almost no team oriented mindset. Getting help on porjects is like pulling teeth. You will also most likely work by yourself on a lot of stuff. 2) Experienced people all left. No higher knowledge to learn or gain experience from. 3) 2 weeks vacation seems pretty low bar. 4) Very much gut feeling reactions, not team or data driven decisions being made. 5) You will hear conflicting philosophies frequently. Whether its no bandaid solutions, taking the time to fix issues, or we need data driven decisions. 6) Unless you are higher on the food chain, you probably wont be listened to. Ties in with the lack of a collaborative environment. 7) Depending on your position, you may be constantly on call. 8) Lost desire to move up, seems like higher positions will just make you live here.
