Run The Other Way....Fast!

Pros

You will learn a lot about safety.

Cons

I have been with The Council for more than two years and must say this place has grown so toxic they should be distributing face masks to employees as we walk through the door each morning. The other "poor" reviews are on the money - this place only cares about money...theirs! Upper management is manipulative and will turn tables on very talented people to make them feel as if they are doing wrong. The ones who will call you on lack of "accountability" are the most highly "unaccountable" people in the organization. Three times in the past two years I have gone to HR to discuss issues and seek support, only to get notes back "We don't know what to do" if you're lucky enough to get a response at all. I feel for the CEO who is spending so much money (hundreds of thousands of dollars I think) and effort on culture change for group of people who have no genuine interest in improving. Instead, everyone walks on egg shells, is defensive, and afraid afraid to speak the truth. The CEO has no idea how toxic and demeaning those in management can be. If you enjoy working with people you can't trust; perhaps this place is for you. If not, run away fast!!!

THESE ARE BAD PEOPLE

Pros

I liked my job and was very good at it. I worked here for over twenty years and was very proud of all my accomplishments.

Cons

Upper management is the worst for the last several years. In my opinion they only care about how big their bonuses are. They fire staff on a regular basis. I was fired for not wearing a safety belt. I always wear a safety belt. But, they don't want to pay unemployment so they come up with any safety reason to fire staff.hey have fired almost the entire staff several times over in the last several years.

WORST COMPANY EVER

Pros

In the early years that I started my career this company cared about safety and health. I enjoyed working on something that was benefiting society.

Cons

Several years ago this place went up for grabs. Fired almost the entire staff for any reason. They falsely fired many staff for not buckling seat belts or using cell phone while driving. Upper management also took over the employee reviews for the purpose of firing staff. Every knew they didn't want to pay unemployment. This company was already profitable but the wanted to increase bonuses for exec's. No stock holders here. Profits go to the top management.
