Pros
This is a wonderful company to work for. The key word being work. I think some people get a job to bring meaning to their life, but most people just want to get paid. What a concept, you come to work and do a good job and you get paid for it. I think the quality of work and the pay or promotions go hand in hand in most cases. Even better, if they chose to, they have the ability to go elsewhere whenever they want to, but for some unforeseen reason they chose to stick around and complain and spread their negativity. I have never seen anyone tied up and made to stay here. Obviously there must be a reason they stick around....perhaps they like getting paid? Perhaps some people are just going to miserable no mater what, and that's okay. Enough about that.......There are many pros to working at Applied, but I would suggest you visit the website, call HR or actually talk to someone who really works here. Keep in mind, negative opinions are more talked about than the positive ones, which is why I decided to post my opinion. Keeping in mind our opinions are a point of view from our own perspective. My experience here has been positive. I have been here over 10 years, but I have worked very hard for my job/position and I do not have it JUST because I have been here for a while. I earned it!
Cons
I'm sure cons and pros are different depending on each persons' situation. I can't say it's a long commute because it has easy access to almost everywhere now, especially since stunkel road construction completed and now it's super easy access to 57. I can't complain about the cost of clothing or dress code, because most employees have a casual dress code. I can't say the pay is bad, because it has been paying my bills for a while now. I cant' say the employees are bad, because I have made many friends at all levels of the organization. No organization is perfect....if there is one, I'm sure they have no job openings...lol Of course there are little negatives, but believe it or not I really had to stop and think of what they might be. Working remotely more often better interdepartmental communication worry more about getting the job done and less about the daily processes
