In my opinion several people in management of this company go back to the early days when discrimination against minorities and the gay community was OK. It feels like these ideals are still in place in many areas within the company, especially with some people in mid and upper management/department head positions, as well as other employees, who feel that management's views make it ok. The safety department will spend a year or more on a campaign to get rid of mercury thermometers or sharp objects in drawers, while taking major risks with people's health in terms of chemical exposure, etc., if it will cost to much money. Still the type of company your Dad could have worked for in the 60's or 70's.

- There are almost no opportunities for advancement. - Pay is below market value in all entry level positions. - They value more degrees and credentials rather than experience and accomplishments. - It's a very politicized environment for everything (promotions, approvals, strategy, etc) - Getting clear on expectations and speaking straight is not a priority, it's a very secretive organization. - There are a lot of egos and a lot of the decisions are made by people who have no clue what is going on -Knee jerk reactions are very common in the company and a lot of programs and strategies get started due to a knew jerk reaction -Their approach to safety is mind numbing and bothersome, everything is surrounded with red tape so that even simple tasks become time consuming and inefficient
