Pros
The compensation -- that is it ... this company used to be one of the best places to work for until RJRT got involved heavily in 2007 -- and like always, big company politics change the culture and structure, to the point of no return.
Cons
I never have given my heart and soul to a company that in the end treated me so foul. I won awards, contests, etc. here. I was considered at one time a front runner of the position. Upper Management here reminds me of being in high school. If your one of the cool kids you can be part of their clique and get a promotion regardless of your tenor, or what lack of accomplishments you have done. There have been so many promotions here were people have been here under 2 years and did not even master their current position, but because they were a "chosen one" they were deemed fit for management. Upper management loves to use words here like "networking" , "change" , and "transparent". But what makes me laugh is they make the rules and change them all the time, and exclude themselves from their own rules. My supervisors planned trips and visits in the field around night life bars, and were under the impression that rules did not imply to them, and that it was ok to say inappropriate innuendo's. Very unproffessional management was here (not sure about now -- keep hearing very inexperienced now) My boss at one time, told me you had to be part of a clique to get a promotion, and that it did not matter how good your reviews were, or what your accomplishments were. The "good old boys" network is strong here as well, loaded with favortism and politics.... If you speak up about wrong do'ers with power here -- their friends (with power) will not forgive you and hold grudges and not ever speak to you again. This is regardless weather or not being right or wrong. This company says they are a family company, but more times than not get ready to stay and sleep in a hotel, or on the road somewhere away from family. Also, when I was here the health insurance was next to awful. I could have almost paid for insurance on my own for what their costs was to insure more than one person. If you are a single person, right out of college, or in your mid 20's, and don't plan on having a life, maybe you should try here .... I never in all my years of working have seen a place turn into this result, and I have worked for much larger companies. In my opinion this is an awful place to be.
