      Frustrating place to work

      Pros

      Has good pension and matching program.

      Cons

      Good workers are over-loaded and not appreciated. Poor workers take too long to get rid of and given too many chances. You start to wonder why when it does not seem to matter. It breeds frustration. You lose good people when they just give up and move on, HR preaches equality and accountability but does not practice what it preaches. Not a team environment - many little groups that run their own agendas.

      Strong Company - Challenging Work Environment

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company compensates its employees fairly and the benefits are o.k. The company is a strong player in the power and telecommunications cables markets due to strong costs controls. The company operates very lean and every employee is critical to the operation so opportunities to learn new skills are constant. Organization is flat so promotion opportunities tend to be lateral and few. A good place to start your career but the pace can be overwhelming for most.

      Cons

      The company is highly centralized across all functions and very slow to react especially in human resources. The company can be obsessed with poorly defined metrics that drive poor decision making (i.e. employee headcount instead of labor costs). Employees are not evaluated across departments in a consistent manner. Performance expectations are set so high that few can meet them to achieve annual pay increases. Management tends to be punitive so employees fear failure and avoid risk.

      Pros

      Good company. Knowledgeable staff. Good communication. Management is fair but horrible HR group. From benefits to employee help to really anything their involved in...they mess it up badly. HR is overly worried about marketing their department as competent, instead of actually being competent.

      Cons

      Clean house in HR. From the VP down. Most of the lower level HR folks are actually nice and try, but the upper echelon folks are too worried about their performance and create new stupid things to make them look relevant. Their not. Workday sucks and doesn't work well. Benefits are terrible too. We don't need "superheroes" we need good healthcare! Don't ask for input weeks into a year long thing, ask after several months about it. Duh!
