Pros

Nice corporate facilities. Most employees are nice

Cons

1. The operating systems that they use are very old. The lack of new technology makes employees work much harder instead of smarter. There is down time due to interfacing the systems. 2. Some employees have been at the company for 20 years plus with little experience in the field that they are working in. Employees are often promoted into positions that they have no previous experience. They are only taught what management wants them to know and therefore do not know how to ask educated questions or make suggestions for improvement. 3. Suggestions for improvements by new employees are often ignored because management is set in doing things their way, even if it is ineffective. This company is not proactive but is reactive. 4. They have too many meetings and never get anything accomplished. If clear expectations were set then the need for multiple meetings would be eliminated. Management does not like to document things in email. They would rather waste an hour in a meeting discussing. 5. Corporate employees are not guaranteed specific holidays off. This company accrues holiday time. Therefore you must request the holiday that you want off before you can actually take it off. Deadlines are not pushed back due to holidays so the time may be denied.

Pros

Able to work in the Local office (for now), flexible schedule as needed most of the time, one of the few competitive salary options in the market area

Cons

Unstable with decision making and high level management - so many changes without any time to reach stability - system changes taking too long to implement, with shortcuts and workarounds creating challenges for the user groups.

Pros

My experience has been very positive. I have had great opportunities. My management team respects my work, and I have the freedom to challenge ideas. I recognize that this is partially due to having a good management team. I do find that people who work for people from larger companies (ie not homegrown small town city) tend to have a better work experience.

Cons

Small town attitudes still prevail. Benefits aren't that great - but depending on your area, compensation is fair and just. No tuition reimbursement, and management does not accept the telecommute policy put in place by HR.
