Pros

Unfortunately, there aren't any pros left to working for this company.

Cons

New Corporate Management has destroyed a once solid and decent company to work for. There was a more recent merger with the Fleet Services side of the business and we've had something like 8 new CEO's in the past 10 years. The newest upper management (apparently here to stay) has attempted to re-structure the company and has badly dropped the ball on ALL leadership aspects. They have pushed out all of the loyal, long-term, tenured employees. There currently is and will continue to be a high turnover rate of new employees until upper management can learn to stop putting profits before people. There have been many changes over the past couple years, including a catastrophic level failure to launch a new software platform. Frankly, management has their heads up their as*es too much to see the forest through the trees or recognize how badly they're actually destroying the company. And i don't think that they care, either.... just as long as they're managing to line their own pockets. There will continue to be high employee turnover, and due to that, there will be an inability to manage and keep most of our long-term customers and our biggest key accounts will also quickly wise up and leave. We're already watching it happen in real time. The entirety of the sales team quit within the past 6 months and any new hires in every department are not receiving adequate training. The only person left who knows the ins and outs of the company and software (which is extremely antiquated/ prehistoric ICS/ IBM software from the 80's) is basically the person who helped to build this company from the ground up nearly 30 years ago. This somebody is mainly the only resource that management has for everything to do with training and how the company works, yet they threaten his livelihood and step on him, don't give him the credit, recognition or respect that he deserves for his hard work and loyalty, and irreplaceable value he adds to the company. If this guy leaves, the company will definitely tank. There's no saving it. Yet, he is not being treated fairly or with any respect just like everyone below a certain title/ pay grade. Upper management uses him to their advantage and he is not being respected for his value. They've basically chewed him up and spat him out. This type of treatment is across the board for all employees - treating everyone like they're disposable and not actually listening to them, stripping away any positive aspects of work at all. They forced all administrative/ clerical staff to go back to work in the office for no good reason, even though we haven't received adequate pay, nor any adequate increases to account for the inflation and cost of living...and we've communicated this to them, that it's ruining us financially (on top of the toxic work environment). They have made it clear that they don't care about us. Over and over and over. Some of the hardest working, smartest, best employees and assets to the company have already quit and the rest of us that are left are on our way out.

Pros

Market offering is substantial in terms of service to clientele. This makes the atmosphere for growth perfect. Good people that are honest to work with.

Cons

Older company learning to grasp the newer age of technology, as with any company navigating this. It takes time to adopt and can be a struggled at times.

Pros

nothing good is left of the company

Cons

senior mgmt think they know what to do to drive business however they only want "yes" people and not workers. All mgmt that cared or worked were let go due to huge egos in what they call senior mgmt. mgmt needs to take the blinders off and think about who is left and if they can get the true leaders back instead of uneducated bosses
