A culture poised for failure

Pros

Overtures made to improving processes and using data intelligently. There are some managers who genuinely believe new approaches and ideas are valued and work to design and implement them. These employees are good mentors and team members.

Cons

Unfortunately, those who constitute the pros above are few and the executive management discards their proactive advice as insubordination. I was surprised to find such limited corporate vision and adherence to an outmoded hierarchy with such pervasive secrecy and paranoia. Yes, this is a complex business, with tight margins and deadlines. All the more reason to foster and support effective teamwork instead of applying "The Mushroom Principle", (keep them in the dark and feed them fecal matter).

Pros

Good pay, full time, benefits of a full time job like vacation. possibility of overtime.

Cons

Seemed like a secure job and the skills i learned were pretty good, but I only lasted there like a month before it became too stressful because people were quitting left and right. I guess some or a lot of the current employees were not happy. The company seems to be trying to reduce their labor and see how much they can get out of them. Overall not a very happy place to work at. Health care coverage too expensive, you are better off getting your own.

Pros

You'll get a lot of experience! Good stepping stone to a better company.

Cons

Make sure to bargain for the highest comp. you can get as it will be really hard to get more money once you work there. There are a lot of industry veterans with no experience outside the industry and with no higher education. Very, tough environment with REALLY long hours. Intense pressure to change things all the time.
