Used to be a phenomenal place to work. Leadership changes in the past year+ have been downright freightening.

Current

Pros – Excellent benefits, good salary, great co-workers, great industry (especially during a recession).

Cons – In the past year decisions to promote at Corporate have been based on factors other than competence and experience. Big egos abound despite suffering performance. We recently lost our CFO who was one of the most phenomenal and ethical leaders we had. Announcement today notes RVP for the East region is being transferred to Corporate Sales Leadership position. That is great news for his region but very disappointing news for sales across the organization. We've lost so many good people recently due to poor leadership and our results and morale have suffered.

Advice to Senior Management – Current leadership is not open to advice.

Frustrating.

Former

Pros – Excellent Healthcare benefits, especially in this day and age.
This is a company that has a LOT of potential to be a GREAT company, both in relations to it's customers and it's employees but for some inexplicable reason chooses not to-instead distancing themselves from their customers (while playing lip service to how important they are) and treating their hourly employees with less regard afforded to lab rats and farm animals.

Cons – Absolutely no advancement unless you fit their management 'mold'. No diversity in thought, anyone that is not in lockstep with management is viewed with suspicion.

Management is top heavy, ineffectual and apathetic toward their direct reports.

The sames mistakes and problems happen repeatedly with management never taking any responsibility for them or doing anything or looking into the why/how these problems keep occurring and the possibility of changing their processes and procedures.

Salaries are not the greatest, no bonuses for hourly employees (not even token christmas bonuses) despite the fact management receives bonuses for mediocre (at best) performance and the company is doing very well financially in this desperate economy.

Advice to Senior Management – TALK to your customers. TALK to your non-salaried employees. Better yet, LISTEN to them, you just might learn a thing or two.

If you know the right people, your career will be great.

Former

Pros – The health benefits are decent and the company is not open on Good Friday. Salaries are adjusted to compete with the market.

Cons – Those promoted to management are not trained on how to deal with people; they're just promoted and let loose to do their jobs. Of course, many do not care about actually MANAGING people, they just want the money.

Advice to Senior Management – Spend the dollars and train your management team; if you want to keep the best talent learn how to treat them.

Nothing like I ever expected. Can't believe some of the things that go on in their.

Current

Pros – great benefits and they are more focused on feeding you or hosting a catering party as a reward for performance.

Cons – Manegement are too friendly with select individuals. Cannot trust anyone in there when problems arise. Not HR or upper management. They promote negative behaviors. Very racist environment. No need to look for advancement if they dont like you. Professional educated people they tend to dispise. Worked for the company for over 7 years & posess a degree and still can't advance? Managers lack communication. Business makes billions but performance time they are skimpy and say that due to recession they have to cut back. Work you like a dog!

Advice to Senior Management – End the friendships that are blatenly obvious. Value ALL employees based on performances not because they watch your kids and buy you gifts. Work on interpersonal skills and if you get rid of employees/managers that bullies others around the place would be a great palce. I wish the CEO could go undercover to see what really goes on. Possibly run an audit on the jobs that have been passed by educated internal employees who are trying hard to make it.
