Very nice people, sad place to work

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I had a very good manager and a great work-life balance.

Cons

Completely ineffective culture, hopeless structure for accomplishing any tasks, and a lot of incompetent workers. Pay was not good, but it matched the amount of work that could be accomplished.

Decent Company, but bloated with Bureaucracy

Assistant vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Treat their people well if you want to stay in the position you are in. Decent benefits. Foster changing jobs so you don't have to be stuck in the same job or with the same team forever.

Cons

Very bureaucratic organization. Always having management shakeups at the top levels. Takes forever to get much of anything significant accomplished (6 months to get hardware I can get from Amazon in 2 days??? C'mon guys!) Very political process in getting promoted... more about who you know and who you can get to recognize you than what you accomplish. Lots of middle managers more focused on how things are perceived to upper management rather than getting things done. I saw deliveries that were ready to go being held back so that upper management wouldn't be expecting fast deliveries all the time or to keep from someone higher up the chain from looking good... as I said, very political.
