Pros

Great benefits, solid middle management.

Cons

Senior management has been shaky through some serious strategic changes in the last couple years. Business simplification was very successful. However, there is significant shareholder value that could be driven through strategic sourcing, but they have not shown the commitment, support, or strategic knowledge to implement it on the massive scale of the company.

Pros

Great co-workers; smart people who are dedicated to doing good work. There is a general kindness and everyone seems willing to help each other.

Cons

The pay is low, and everyone seems stretched thin. There is little structure to ensure local leaders follow good practices. Evaluation of performance tends to be highly subjective. There seems to be very little management of the management.
