Pros

The people are great: competent, problem solvers. Nice variety of benefits. Seems like something new is coming at you to resolve all the time - no time to be bored here! Crosstraining encouraged. Executive management cycles through around the five year mark - not too quick to learn the new culture.

Cons

"Do more with less." "Work smarter not harder." and without the upper management support you may need. So employees have to figure the new situation out for themselves. Managers carry department workloads as well so formal training programs are non existent. Conversion to Shared Services Center for Accounting has and will continue to put a few thousand people out of work nationwide. Don't know as the conversion to SAP platform was the right choice for food service company. However, now a few years and hundreds of millions dollars behind schedule, there is no turning back. Work-Life Balance for exempt employees is too far skewed towards work. Career opportunities usually involve relocating to another city.

Horrible work life balance

Pros

Great over time pay. That is all I can say

Cons

There is completely no work life balance. Only benefit the higher ups. Opens 6 days a week but will make you come on off day when there is a holiday in the week. Horrible work place.
