Pros

I guess there are alot of fun events that the company puts on, but many times they are only for management. The benefits are pretty good. Salary is average unless you are managment. The business is not flashy but it is interesting and vital to the economy, You can learn a lot from people in the organization. The are plenty of lifers here so there must be something good. August hours are cool. Everyone is generally friendly, The new office space is outstanding. There is a lot of leeway with many jobs. Senior Management is very accessible especially Kenney. The others are fair also.

Cons

Opportunites are few and none. Kenney tries his best but he is a very moody boss. The HR department is totally incompetent. There are so many IT people running around it is unbelievable. They have initiated multiple computer enhancements with none coming to fruition. Sales and management are extremely well compensated but regular employees have a hard time getting more than a 3% bonus. There are a lot kiss ups and not much diversity. I imagine they try but there are a lot ethnic and racial cliques. The one charity that is sponsored is not very varied and seems just to garner media attention.

Pros

Collaborative culture with respect among colleagues. Leadership is approachable and they really care. It’s the healthiest environment that I’ve worked in!

Cons

Change can be slow as there are many employees who have worked there for a long time. This is also a positive thing as it shows it’s a great place to work! But the tenured crowd can be slower to adapt to change.

Lack of integrity in Chicago leadership, willingness to use manufacturing employees as scapegoats, production has so much drive they're neglecting their support teams technology
