Pros

The fact that we have three proficient lead persons in our office quite often saves the day. I'm not sure how many times their knowledge and quick thinking have kept the wheels on the bus. They are good intelligent people who consistently get it right the first time. Given free reign and quality leadership they could make this a fantastic company to work for.

Cons

Manager has risen above his level of ability. Manager does not take care of his people. Manager misrepresents company policy in meetings. I have worked here for nearly two years without a raise. I recently asked for a raise and was told that the company could not afford to give me a raise. WHAT? I have been told twice now that I MUST choose between my family, and my job! I have never heard such callous B.S. from any other employer I have ever worked for!
