Business outlook
Pros
Safe conscious and committed. Equality to religion in the workplace. Raises are good. Pension is great as well as 401(k).
Cons
Promotions are not easy. Bell curve is large. The 'who you know' sometimes is a problem rather than what you can do. I have seen where an employee was promoted twice within a year. First into a supervisor role and then into a higher managerial role. I don't think they were qualified to move into the managerial role and thus left a gap in the supervisor role. The new supervisor shows up, unfamiliar with the workforce and their peers. This puts strain on the entire team and group. The lack of experience in both roles now are evident and cause promotion problems as well as familiarity with the workers.
