      Pros

      you get a free electric toothbrush. 401K plan with matching They buy out companies to drive up the stock. To quote one of the Senior CEO as he walked out of our office door, "Keep our stock holders happy!" I guess that's how he say thank you, good job or good bye.

      Cons

      They make promises they can't keep. They closed down Lightolier's Fontana factory, which is the only one that's actually making money. But lets "Keep our stock holders happy!" cuz the workers seem to be nothing to them. They like to keep incompetent managers and layoff all the ones who actually do their job and done it well. 401K plan has a very long 100% vesting period

      Pros

      The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

      Cons

      Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
