Unqualified inconsistent management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits - 401k and pension, good insurance plans.

Cons

Everything but the benefits. Basically only promotes minorities (the more UNqualified the better, it seems) bullying from some managers and HR does nothing. Not paid on performance. Extremely inconsistent and A LOT of busy work (depends on manager though)

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I work with are nice and dedicated, but there are so many leaving / let go due to the JV headcount reduction. I am not sure who will be left.

Cons

The JV restructuring is a mess. Management does not communicate well. Entire departments are gone. It is not clear how this is all going to function. Nothing seems well thought out.
