Growing too fast to keep up

Pros

The people, opportunities for growth, benefits (401K, 5% annual contribution, Profit Sharing) and compensation, Huber Principles (most people are accountable, occasionally a member of management is allowed to not abide by all principles if they have a high performing team). Family owned (stable), and very "community service" focused). Constantly adding new benefits (like additional Maternity and Paternity leave).

Cons

Very high expectations but lip service to "work life balance" which isn't real considering we were constantly expected to do more with less in the name of finding "efficiencies" (another word for spreading the work to those who already work hard). Too many projects which land in the laps of those already doing the work. The different legs of the business don't always play well together - very siloed. Hard when you are trying to work together on a project that affects all. New President for one business who acts like people aren't important, makes comments about the plants need to "Keep getting product out, I have kids to put through college" - very insensitive - many employees also have kids to put through college. Felt a culture shift after he came on that is not positive. Sometimes very unreasonable expectations because he doesn't seem to understand the business and doesn't seem to trust the leadership team to run the business.

Pros

There are some great people that work there.

Cons

Some of the leadership is very cliquish, a lot of politics, a lot of bureaucracy. A lot of talking about things, but often little action taken. Meetings to plan meetings. Although there are great people that work there, there are other people that no one knows how they keep their jobs. Sometimes people get moved into roles they have no business being in and then when they fail they may be fired or they may be paid to do nothing of any value. A lot of money spent on sales meetings, consultants, travel, etc. The culture in Atlanta is toxic. In many ways the company is cheap.

Pros

Salary, benefits, work space were decent.

Cons

I found the ability to manage and motivate employees was weak at Huber. Those who did a mediocre job but live identity politics did better than those who simply wanted to do a good job and get paid to do that.
