Great Company and People, lacks stability

Pros

The people that you will be working with are some of the nicest co-workers you could hope for, from different backgrounds and experiences. There is a lot of movement in the company, if you show initiative and professionalism there is a lot of opportunity for career development.

Cons

The company is top heavy with VP's and senior management. The decisions these people are making have an impact on a lot of people, these decisions have been very questionable lately.

Pros

Talented coworkers, the smart ones will/have moved on to other pastures. The workers strive to make a difference for the customers each day in and day out.

Cons

Lack ability/willingness to listen to ideas from staff performing the work. Many managers are not forthcoming, nor truthful with you. Management possesses the attitude you should be grateful to have a job, rather than being recognized as an asset and truly part of a team.

Pros

Fun projects to work on, great employees. The company was an excellent place to work years ago before Udo screwed it up. Maybe going through bankruptcy can fix some things.

Cons

Management in Central Point has completely unrealistic expectations of their employees. Combine this with completely disconnected management in Portland, layoffs, and bankruptcy and you have a very bad situation. I have seen many of my friends laid off and then have to pick up their work. On top of that management imposes very aggressive schedules that are completely unrealistic.
