Very much a "good ol' boy" culture

Pros

Great opportunity if you get "in" with the right people. There were some very good managers there, but I believe one by one they left when their conscience wouldn't let them stay in the environment. Flexible work/life balance with regards to setting work schedules and health and fitness opportunities.

Cons

The sexual harassment issues the company is known for do set the tone of the workplace culture, unfortunately. I was specifically told at one point when consulted to hire a new team member that if she was female she couldn't be "too attractive" because of past problems with attractive female employees and management. Sad that candidates were being judged on appearance rather than ability. I was also asked to break the law one more than one occasion in the course of my employment. I refused to do so. I was not fired for it, but it did make my working relationship with the management strained as they were unhappy I would not violate federal law for them.

Pros

The paychecks were always deposited on time.

Cons

Incredibly stupid IS management that does not actually know the environment they work in. Software developers that can barely use a modern PC. No professional support from any IS managers. The IS helpdesk can not solve a problem unless the solution has been demonstrated a dozen times. IS security is an absolute joke.

Pros

The benefits were competitive. In house cafeteria had good food. The company completely adopted the lean principles and were committed to holding regular kaizens.

Cons

The pay was not in line with the work being done. The majority of the work occurs in the summer months, so you cannot take more than 2 weeks of vacation in the summer. The job gets to be so busy in the summer, you can't wait for summer to be over! Often times raises were delayed or not given. Then, when raises were given, the employees would be told that every one was getting the same raise, when in fact that was not true.
