Pros

There are some genuinely gifted people employed here.

Cons

After voicing some concerns about company strategy, costs of software upkeep, & costs of upgrading integral pieces of overly extinct ERP software, I was told that my boss - a member of "C-level" management (aka a company officer) would present my ideas during meetings with other departments, then tell them how little I did for the company. It was sad considering 4 other employees outside of my department actually confirmed that this happened on multiple occasions during meetings I was conveniently not invited to partake in. What's worse, once they decide you don't "fit" in with the club - they make your work life so miserable that you want to quit. Unfortunately I didn't. I stayed until I was terminated and learned to cope with being verbally & mentally harassed until that day came - all just so I could qualify for unemployment until I found my next job.

Thanks for your feedback. We value all ideas and suggestions but not every idea gets implemented. That does not mean your input was not valued, as every idea counts when you are always trying to improve. We try to constantly improve on every front, especially in areas that impact our customers and employees. When it comes to technology we do take our time to test systems and make sure changes meet expectations and are cost-effective so that we can pass those savings on to our customers. Wholesale firing is not our style. We have never had a layoff in the almost 80 years we have been in business.
