Pros

Decent benefits package ( aside from Wellness Fair) Good PTO accrual Encourage employees to take days off (needs to be done to stay sane)

Cons

Management- across the board on every level. Decision making is lacking; forethought and planning are secondary to knee-jerk and panic decision making. HR- doesn't support the employees, takes sides with management in most cases Benefits- while they CAN be good, Wellness Fair each year measures weight, B.M.I, blood pressure and smoking- anything above a certain level and you don't qualify for premium rates More emphasis on hiring from outside organization, not promoting from within.
