Pros

The bonus structure is good (but i expect it to go away after 2016 like most of the perks) and they offer a rich health insurance plan. The people are friendly across all departments.

Cons

Lack of communication from management. My impression is that you must strive for a supervisor role or you are looked down upon. New processes just for the sake of having new processes. Layoffs were kept under wraps and no one knows who or how many. The is no room for advancement and work/life balance is terrible. Most of my co-workers are doing the work of 2-3 people.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, benefits, the intent of the company to make it a better workplace. Commitment to do things safely.

Cons

Culture of haves and have-nots; either management sees you as a superstar or a nobody and no amount of work, or lack thereof, will convince them otherwise. Entrenched bureaucracy-lots of managers hide behind it. Despite the statement otherwise, speaking up will cost you. Have lousy manager, problem is known and nothing is done about it.
