Pros
The company compensates its employees fairly and the benefits are o.k. The company is a strong player in the power and telecommunications cables markets due to strong costs controls. The company operates very lean and every employee is critical to the operation so opportunities to learn new skills are constant. Organization is flat so promotion opportunities tend to be lateral and few. A good place to start your career but the pace can be overwhelming for most.
Cons
The company is highly centralized across all functions and very slow to react especially in human resources. The company can be obsessed with poorly defined metrics that drive poor decision making (i.e. employee headcount instead of labor costs). Employees are not evaluated across departments in a consistent manner. Performance expectations are set so high that few can meet them to achieve annual pay increases. Management tends to be punitive so employees fear failure and avoid risk.
