Pros

-Fair Pay -Friendly co-workers -Better than being unemployed

Cons

Worked for the company for nearly four years, and the entire time it was a sinking ship. From the day I started I knew it was a mistake. Everything from systems and facilities to the "Boys Club" mentality is horribly outdated. You will go far in this company if you are willing to be a yes man, and disregard profitability and what is best for the company. Also, if you can put money into senior leadership's pocket, even at the expense of the company, then you will be a VP in no time. The vacation time is horrible: 10 days until year 7. Bonus, when you get it is lack luster, and they often find reasons to cut the bonus amount in the 11th hour. Women are treated horribly and never taken seriously, even the ones who have fought their way into leadership. My biggest suggestion is to work literally anywhere else.

Pros

Working for a large $2b company can open pathways

Cons

Poor ownership from private equity. Every day is a fire drill and the micro management is not only from the CEO and leadership but also the PE owners do not know their place - they believe they are running the company and interfere in small aspects - therefore no unity of command and employees are clueless who to follow. Significant turnover and exits with different exit program names kept by the name of birds - the speculation remains as to which is going to be the next bird. 2-3 core c-level people that created an idea to split the company into two for no real reason came with no real logic on what they and why they do what they do every day. The company sees lack of knowlege base, very weak systems made pretty looking with layers of systems that are being made to show a pretty face of the company that is about to be sold. toxic culture and no trust at any level in the company. no executive lives in the same town and therefore zero connection with the community - its all about big PE money.
