Fear Mongering, Poorly Run, Toxic Environment

Pros

Great name recognition and decent pay for experience. Amazing colleagues to work with.

Cons

Not a progressive work environment - women are very much expected to be pretty with no opinions, or to be sleeping or drinking with someone above them. Management-Down philosophy, where upper management gives orders down line. If there is any issue or problem with a project, it becomes a blame game where the lowest person in the project will get hung (and generally fired) for the entire thing. No encouragement for personal or professional growth; no work-life balance (expected to be providing excellent customer service at all times, even if that means answering emails on an out of country vacation on your personal phone. To note on the professional development, I heard numerous times that I or others shouldn't get involved in x, y, or z organization within the community, because otherwise we would have to, "Watch our backs, as our paycheck comes from Hubbell not Des Moines Chamber/Leadership Programs/Association and Board Roles."

Pros

They pay well for experience. They have a nice building. Great name recognition.

Cons

CEO is volatile and prone to obscene outbursts directed at specific people, but loud enough that interrupts the ability to work effectively. The have a Management - Down system where the manager gives the order, if the project doesn't go well (depending on which department you work in) the "blame game will begin" resulting in the low man or woman on the list getting hung for the entire project. They have promoted many to the point of incompetence and the CEO is very hands on, but very volatile. This is a poorly run organization and a toxic work environment.

Pros

Nothing, well I guess they dont charge you for coffee

Cons

You never know when you or your boss will be fired Always over hire to get stuff done fast regardless of accuracy CEO runs the company as a fear monger HR is a joke. The homes side consistently fails and looses money(over a million a year) Board of Directors has no spine as they never hold the upper management accountable
