Pros
Good location, and nice view of central downtown Portland
Cons
Their mission statement is "Our mission is to help suppliers grow and protect their business through passion, integrity and innovation." This is slightly hypocritical, because some of our manager(s) can't say that about their actions on the inside. There are several managers whose integrity I would question because of direct orders that were told to me that are morally wrong. Much of it has to do with the acquisition of a very large account, but BT doesn't have enough staff to take care of it. A good analogy would be if a Boa Constrictor caught a much larger creature for a meal--possibly and alligator or large land mammal--it would have attained its goal, but has no idea how to utilize this catch to their best advantage. It's prey is too big to swallow, but still tries to anyway. The snake went to this much trouble to catch it, and it wants to hold onto this meal, without the slightest clue on how to do it. Management is the same--they scramble around to keep this "meal ticket" but they don't seem to realize that those people who work under them are have been given instruction that goes against their own mission statement. These particular employees (some managers--not everyone) lack integrity (by telling staff about work arounds to avoid letting this large account know) and are not forward thinking (they are not innovative when it comes to instructions given to different departments from different management--left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing) I see interoffice emails where one memo contradicts another from management, but neither is said to be correct or incorrect. This part is not new (with the recent account). This has been happening since I first started 3+ years ago. Another issue is that management seems to play favorites. What is acceptable with one employee is not for another. That also needs a thorough rewrite, so nothing is misunderstood.
