This company became a "market leader" through massive acquisitions, not through any form of internal growth or innovation. The pay is somewhat below the industry standards. Raises are practically non-existent and if you get one it's around 1%. Managers are given a max average of 3% across the board to work with. That means that the manager's favorites will get more while you get less, as long as the total doesn't exceed 3%. So called "merit" raises are totally dependent upon being in the right clique and in the manager's favor, not necessarily performance driven. When they needed a manager they always hire from the outside. Promotions are a rarity. Workloads were heavy and it had a sweatshop mentality. Top heavy management with a manager/supervisor for every 3-4 workers.
