Pros

May have had some before the PE acquisition. Too soon to tell right now, but after a year, nothing good to report.

Cons

People are treated like cogs in a machine. Tribal knowledge is worth little to nothing to the new executive management. Huge egos in executive management - they believe they can "manage" their way through everything. Enormous lack of communication about vision, and leading by example. Young talent willing to work hard is trampled over by the illusion of power by mid to upper management. Stereotypical predictable behavior by new management being ruled by a PE firm - making unnecessary changes to justify their new positions. HR is a joke - nonexistent to people who have actual issues, but right out in the open to communicate frivolous changes or additions to policies - ex: "Casual Friday" is their answer to plummeting morale. Stifling micro-management. Implementing new ERP - with this administrations inability to communicate, lead, and make decisions - will be a disaster - perhaps saved only by the hard-working soldiers who care...all of whom have their resumes updated and distributed, I might add. Casualties will continue.

Pros

There are SOME good people you meet there. It was close to my house. There were some easy going days, there were hard/busy days too.

Cons

Management. Toxic environment because of SOME coworkers talking bs behind people’s back. The initial pay isn’t great, unless you have YEARS of experience and don’t even expect any good raises. Favoritism with certain people, allowing the same thing you get in trouble for, slide past others because you like them more.
