Pros

Benefits are the only thing this cesspool of a company is good for.

Cons

This company is the measuring stick for toxic environments. Good people are pushed to the brink and then leave and they scratch their heads and wonder why. People are begging to be trained in their jobs but management does nothing about it. You spend too much time in meetings and doing needless things rather than doing your actual job. Then they wonder why you can't get anything done. Upper management makes up lies and other falsities when they want to reprimand or terminate an employee. They thrive on issuing performance improvement plans, written warnings and terminations. No one gets a fair chance there. Management is horrible. They rule with an iron fist based on fear and intimidation.

Pros

Pretty good mission if safety is something you care about.

Cons

Management is completely disconnected from the needs of their staff. They make decisions without considering their effects on the team. Unexplained budget cuts with no reduction in goals is common. Management is ineffective at setting strategy or aligning work of different business units. Several high level managers are vindictive, petty, and dismissive of any idea they didn't originally think of themselves. There's no transparency in pay scales and the performance review process is a joke. They have you rate yourself on the values but never discuss these values throughout the year or hold themselves accountable to them. If I rated my manager on values like accountability, I'd give them an unsuccessful rating (blames others, shows no desire to improve or receive feedback). They are stuck with the status-quo but then upset when the status-quo produces mediocre work. Refuses to give feedback even when directly requested but constantly talks behind everyone's back. This is a toxic workplace for someone who thrives on collaboration, problem solving, integrity, and positive effort.

Pros

It's a wonderful mission. I love knowing we are working to save the lives of others.

Cons

There is no room for advancement. Any opportunity for personal growth is stifled. Hardworking employees are micro managed, overworked and stressed out. Many do the work of at least two people. You hardly know we are a non- profit because it's always about the bottom line.
