            Pros

            Had a good local group of people who were all hard-working and supportive. Great office with a fairly-relaxed work environment.

            Cons

            Near constant turnover. The resources were never put in place for success. Slow to remove poor performers, stifling progress. Benefits are a complete disaster. No training program. Drive-by senior management.

                  Pros

                  Secure has an amazing company culture where you enjoy coming to work everyday. The people you work with truly care about you and provide you with all the tools you need to develop a successful career. There is plenty of opportunity at Secure to shadow fellow employees and learn more than your specific role.

                  Cons

                  There isn't a bad thing I can say about my time at Secure.

                    Senior managers can treat their employees incredibly poorly and receive no consequences for it.

                        Pros

                        Company events, decent work culture at Blackfoot office. People are willing to help and go above and beyond. The safety culture is one of the best I have seen.

                        Cons

                        No company direction, no growth, nepotism prevails, low pay, useless HR (SK), known as an energy company but more of a waste management company. No communication within divisions. Salary cuts of VPs are equivalent to those of regular employees.

                      Applying for 2 internal promotion positions within the same company each in a different state in the US. Should you mention this while in the interview stages of both positions?

                      Was told by an company I was interviewing with I would hear back from them the first week of December. The last time we spoke was before Thanksgiving, as I'm trying to respect their decision-making process. Should I reach out again now that we're closer to the date?

                      EY

                      When negotiating salary over the phone, can you mention that you know what the salary is for the position you're applying for? E.g. I know people at the company I'm interviewing for in the exact level that I would be in who are making about 15k more than what I am expecting to be offered. Can I say, "I know Managers at this firm make xyz so I would like to be close to that number"
