Pros

We have a good work life balance.

Cons

Recently the company's direction has changed from system driven to centalization. Policies and procedures are now being decided by people that have little to no experience in the field. They do not have any idea how things really work at the system level. They are getting little to no feedback from the field and are changing policies without proper participation. Even when getting feedback decisions are being made based on what corporate people think works, again with no real experience. Word has gotten out to just do what they say or be labled as a trouble maker or worse. So system employees are now afraid to speak up. We've been told just to "shut up and do it". Senior management does not want their system to stand out as a problem.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
