Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits, PTO, agile work schedule, fair pay.

Cons

No loyalty, no monthly performance assessments, poor IT group, complete silo within Operations. Current lawsuit (alleged securities fraud) with the US Government has lead toward an active spin-off of that portion of the business. Un-honored commitments, Townhall meetings exist with unfulfilled promises, and a vision that does not align with goals. Human Resources department is a complete failure. No compassion for employees, and no path forward environment. When work is slow, employees are told to "just dig in and look for work".
