Pros

Good people at lower parts of the org

Cons

Toxic culture where everyone is blaming each other for obstacles rather than solving problems all because the president has created a culture of fear of retribution

Pros

Good people, good hours, steady and stable

Cons

Poor wages, low morale, the higher ups don't care much about you, people leave all the time and you get more responsibility dumped on you without extra pay. You go for years without a raise and employee evaluations are not worth the paper they are written on. After 15 years, the environment was just so incredibly toxic. I would not recommend working at Shepard to anyone, I was so under appreciated.
