Very Difficult Company to Work For

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is typically some of the best around. Can be a very hands on environment with lots to do.

Cons

Work/Life balance is something spoken about, but not acted on. The organization speaks to being people centered, but actions do not reflect that. Routinely people "retire" well before they would chose to because they are forced to.

Pros

Pay and benefits are competitive. The fast pace keeps management-level employees from getting bored. The company has stability and looks great on a resume.

Cons

Company only pays lip service to safety. Company only pays lip service to stated values. Company treats people as if they are replaceable parts despite claiming in its values this is not the case. I have worked for many places and this is the worst of the worst in terms of safety and human resources. The company harms people through its negligence and then blames that harm on the people who have been injured. HQ messages are corrupted by the field, and staff does not provide support if it doesn't personally benefit them. Very unethical leadership only worried about avoiding lawsuits, not doing the right thing. College hire program ensures no fresh ideas or innovation, and no challenges to the corrupt culture. Inbred. Zero work-life balance.
