Good pay but no regard for the individual!!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, great vacation time, very secure company. Used to be a great company that treated it's management as a Partner in the organization. Large diverse corporation with plenty of career choices.

Cons

In 2010 the corporation downsized the number of district within the US from 46 to 20. They offered early retirement options for some, but most of the management did not take it. Which left people being demoted to lesser jobs through out the company. Since this happened the pressure to perform has been outrageous!!! The goals and expectations are not even realistic and everybody is just miserable. 14 hour days are the norm and you never hear anything positive only the negative. Ive worked here for over 20 years and loved the people and the company, But now I wouldn't wish this job on my worst enemy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Retirement program. Large company that provides opportunities for those who are willing to make sacrifices (like most other Fortune 50 companies).

Cons

Long hours. Wearing multiple "hats". Lean and mean, means lean. Pay has been slipping over the years. Senior management is not always the best, just senior.
