Pros
Decent pay, could work from home from time to time.
Cons
There is straight up no opportunity for advancement in the position of supply chain analyst or other full time positions in accounts payable, and they are aware of it. I worked with a number of individuals who had been there for numerous years, and none had ever received any words on potential advancement opportunities. You will be stuck. There was no sense of direction, my manager didn’t even know what my job consisted of. The supply chain in general is a disaster, which I was informed of going into it, but seeing how lost my they were in person was appalling. For a company that size, which is basically a monopoly in areas where it serves, it’s as poorly run as it can be.

There is absolutely no culture here. I’d give zero stars if possible. The supply chain is in such shambles management has no time to focus on employees, as all their efforts are put towards trying to fix the mess.

Pros
Stable work environment If you're an engineer you're set for life here.
Cons
So stable that nothing changes... ever 22% women in the company Loses women 3x faster than men Losses minorities 6x faster than whites I work in a dept where there are 100+ leader positions... guess how many are women? 7, and only 2 of those have actual direct reports. 5 of those have no one who reports to them. Pathetic
Advice to Management
Quit promoting based on who has been there the longest. Your longevity plan is to do fairs at middle schools? Seriously? They are just greenwashing... recycling plans no longer exist, employees have to empty own trash cans into the few bins that still exist. Since there aren't enough, trash and recycling are all mixed together. Pay is low
