Pros

Pay is based on experience. Bonuses if achieved are good. Training is conducted but minimal. Access to the company reports on a quarterly basis via the CEO on a webcam. Encouraged to ask questions regarding the future of the company's portfolio and sales. Gives back to the community with fund raisers.

Cons

Training is conducted but very limited. You are encouraged to ask questions later on if assistance is needed but frowned upon if you do. Not fully trained in all aspects of your position but expected to know everything. Immediate supervisors are not as forthcoming with their time and instruction as led to believe. Mentor program that is set up is limited on what they will assist you with and their time. Approximately 1 hour a week is encouraged to discuss via phone any questions that you have with your mentor but more often than not your told that you should have been trained on that and to seek out the information. Implements new software without fully understanding its use. Relies heavily on the communities to work out the bugs. Corporate is lax at getting back to you regarding questions that are time sensitive. Health care cost with this company is outrageous! It's not so much as what you know that get's you promoted, it's who you know and who likes you. A personality game.

Pros

overall employees are hard working and loyal and made each other feel part of a common goal individual employees at lower and mid level still value ethics and will do what's right even if its not popular

Cons

for the last 4 years changes and additions in top executives and their individual goals has led to a very dissatisfactory path for shareholders and stakeholders diversity is minimal especially at the top - mainly middle aged, Caucasian, Midwestern males if you don't fit into the mold it will be an uphill battle - company has lost valuable resources by not being open to divergent people and ideas a few of the higher level employees that set the tone or are held in high esteem are arrogant and disrespectful to those under them in hierarchy and its ignored and tolerated

Pros

I had an amazing maintenance staff and worked with wonderful people. I was able to grow with the company. They had one AMAZING corporate assistant to the VP that was wonderful to work with when solving problems

Cons

Senior Management Changed and would communicate 1 set of goals and then turn around and change their mind and not communicate changes. Expectations of maintenance staff was unreasonable and did not provide the tools, resources or money to do proper repairs. Support for site level was missing.
