Company in turmoil

Pros

Pay very good. Generous benefits. Expense policy is very fair. Lots of interesting roles available, not upward, but laterally.

Cons

Opportunity for advancement very small. Very high-stress work environment. High management turnover (6 VPs of Sales in 7 years). Very data intensive organization -- many times missing the forest for the trees. Annual reductions in workforce has caused a lot of ongoing fear, stress, and performance issues. Constant change in staff, methods, plans, goals, and outlooks keeps the company in turmoil. Company running so lean that many people now hold multiple jobs at once.

Pros

- Those working in non-management positions are usually very helpful and want to do the best for their customers - Good benefits and pay structure - Good training ground for understanding and utilizing LEAN

Cons

- Very few development opportunities and low level of coaching - Churn and burn environment where Sr Managers are more interested in meeting LEAN metrics and covering their rears than actually doing the right things for customers - To quick to eliminate costs by terminate employees under the cover of "restructuring" - Sr Management make decisions in a vacuum and spend too little time talking to end customers and their staff that are dealing with end customers - Very few Sr Managers with industry background and connections
