Pros

Employee benefits and flexible working times are good. The company has huge potential to share knowledge at all levels and build a strong technical base and great leadership. Unfortunately the company doesn't make use of this opportunity.

Cons

Overall company vision is not embraced by individual managers who do not have a clear strategy or vision for their subordinates to embrace creating detachment between company goals and team performance. Inadequate communication with employees on situations directly affecting them.

Pros

Local environment is very friendly and laid back. Everyone is helpful. The benefit package is nice as well. We do get the option to purchase company shares, 100% company match up to 6% for 401k plus additional deposits.

Cons

Our company was recently purchased by Rio Tinto and their IT groups are very secular and specialized which makes it hard to communicate and get things resolved. I’ve also compared my salary to others with the same job title within manufacturing companies in my state and found my salary is way below the benchmark.
