Advice to Senior Management

Look in bridging the gap between operations and corporate functions.

absolute adherence to antiquated personel polcies that never appear to benefit the employee

dramatic increase in workloads with little change to already limited staffing resources
little difference between salary merit increases whether you are a top performer or a mediocre performer
salary and benefits are mediocre
upper management seldom appears to listen to employee suggestions coming from the ranks
no tuition refund program at present

Advice to Senior Management

Development and promotion to upper management should be based on merit rather than years on the job or who you know.

Pros

There isn't much. It's a paycheck. You get paid weekly so enjoy that, but watch your timecards and your total hours as it has been known that management has changed your hours.

Cons

You almost have to save the world in order to get any sort of recognition. Management has no real direction and offer zero support, but plenty of criticism. Apparentley, 10 years of working with no problems and glowing recommendation from previous management and plenty of customers mean nothing to current management who are more than happy to send out the dogs a little too early. S-M-A-R-T... That would be a negative. I would stay clear from this wonderful company.

Advice to Senior Management

n/a. They haven't listened for a decade, why listen now.
