Solid foundation ultra-conservative working environment.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very good health benefits. Economy of scale, can order supplies in bulk, more savings for our customers. A well recognized company in the industry.

Cons

Very large company. Extremely difficult to stand-out from such a large crowd. Managers are not personable and advancement is difficult. A conservative working environment, changes are difficult to come by and slow to react to the faster pace demand of the new economy. Definitely not suitable for well educated and out-of-the-box thinkers.

Pros

Great pay, that is it.

Cons

Very political. If management would realize root cause of issues instead of finding ways to blame others, it would benefit greatly.
