Pros

The benefits were pretty good. The pay seemed ok but in reality, was probably not even satisfactory, in light of hours worked.

Cons

They expected their sales employees to work for many hours on their computer at night, but since they were classified as exempt, the company did not have to pay overtime.

Pros

Great training, exposure to interesting global projects and knowledgeable associates. Company has impressive principles and a benevolent underpinning.

Cons

Incredibly dysfunctional leadership team (led by a family member) with no strategic vision. Nothing ever gets accomplished because the management team changes direction constantly. This division routinely hires very bright people and fires them in 6 - 12 months when the annual business reviews come up and senior management needs scapegoats.

Pros

-Flexible work policy if you are in the “in crowd” -Sparkling water machine & good coffee -No one is in the corporate office on Fridays.

Cons

Where do I start- -Not a diverse workforce, Many EEOC complaints to management and they have chosen to look the other way. -No ownership, vision or clear processes -Pat themselves on the back without looking at hard data to improve. They do not want to discuss gaps or opportunities. -Finance people are running HR. -The people that work hard are not promoted. Not a lot of opportunities for advancement within the HR space. -Your protected leave is not protected. Do not take it regardless of what they say! -Poor communication between departments. -Micromanagement -Leadership team is self seeking -Associate/Employee Relations is a joke to the supply business, along with the entire MyP&O model. -Varying levels of pay for the same role. -Only care about Gallup scores and Great Place to Work surveys -Instilling fear in Associates is how the MyP&O Leadership Team works -Family involvement is minimal, the business is rapidly growing and changing at a pace that will dissolve the unique culture. -Tenured associates are not valued. A long list of people have left the business either forced or voluntary. -Very reactionary, no strategic planning or change management strategy
