Pros

people I worked with in the Atlanta office-smart, driven. Interesting industry.

Cons

Arbitrarily short deadlines set then ALWAYS pushed even earlier creating a non-stop stressful environment. No system solution for forecasting and they produce more forecasts than I've seen at other companies = long hours doing manual spreadsheets and tracking multiple versions. Management doesn't push back on last minute (the only kind) from headquarters in Australia making everything worse. The president always talks about how we are "family" but doesn't care if we actually get to see our real family. VERY political environment. Constant reorganizations making it even more unstable. Trouble employees, particularly mangers, aren't dealt with and just drive good people away.

Pros

Provided unlimited safety equipment, ie gloves, ear plugs etc and new boots every year. They have a good benefits package with good health insurance. They work with you when situations come up. They'll give you opportunities for advancement. They literally bend over backwards for you. If you can't make it there, you need to do a little self reflection.

Cons

The only one I can think of is what happened to us. They'll sell out to a 3rd party company and your out of a job.

Pros

Amazing people, and benefits. I’ve had some really strong leaders at this company that have helped me grow. This is a fast paced environment.

Cons

High level leadership sometimes does not communicate the long term vision well. Getting pulled in different directions.
