Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance, good pay and benefits. Great relationship with immediate supervisors and co workers. Fun and flirty offices, close to public transpiration.

Cons

Upper management, especially in Supply Chain was awful. Never listened to their employees. Very aggressive in their management style, no appreciation for years of service, played favorites. Ran a very lean office, which was fine expect they never showed any type of appreciation for the hard work done by employees. Driven by the the desire to be promoted at the expense of her staff. The staff was lead by fear, people dropped life flies around this director. You would be hard pressed to find many employees over the age of 50 there.
