Beware of new CEO and New Management Structure

Pros

Benefits are good...for now! They are in the process of making them more costly to the employees.

Cons

Unstructured at the Sr. Executive CEO level and trickle down effect is like a toilet flushing that is clogged! If you are American, there is no advancement into Sr. Management positions or higher. New leadership is pulling from his international team rather than promoting extremely qualified American employees. No green card - > No opportunities!! Company is driving age of company down. If you are over the age of 48, do not apply or beware cause you will be offered an early retirement package.

Pros

People are always open to your questions. Everybody works with their doors open. Anytime you have a question you can approach even the President at anytime.

Cons

You have to create your own plan of work and set goals for yourselves (of course by discussing it with your manager). So if you are person who needs to be told what to do this won't be a comfortable place for you.
