Pros

Feeney Wireless offers something like 3 or 4 weeks of PTO during the first year of employment, which is the most I've seen at a company where I've been employed. For the most part, they hire people that are fun to work with. Compared to the other cities I've lived and worked in, Eugene is a pretty cool place to live and work.

Cons

Management is very poor at planning. This has stood out more than anything during my time at Feeney Wireless. For instance, the company laid of 14 of its workforce back in July claiming that it had been planning the layoffs since early this year (is that good planning?), yet most of the people laid off were new hires within the last year, and one of which was a new hire of less than 2 weeks. They really screwed him over. And yet, a month and a half later they started hiring for most of the positions that they just got done laying off. Great planning! Before I take a second to dig a little deeper into the management side of things, let me confess that I'm not in management (yes, you caught me), so this is strictly from the point of view of a non-management individual (management being VP+). Anyways, management, in general, seems to not really know a whole lot about what they are doing. They enjoy the power, but aren't any good at properly harnessing the responsibility. Now I don't want to go into nit picking each member of management, but I will say that the one good thing that has happened to management since I've been around is that they hired an actual CFO who has a background as a CFO and is good at being a CFO. Yes! Good job. And this being so good should tell you something about the rest of them. It creates a culture of 'us vs. them' and it is rather uncomfortable. I'd also like to take a paragraph and talk about the revolving door at Feeney Wireless. People are constantly being hired to backfill people that have been fired or quit (more of the latter, lesser of two evils?). To put a number on it, last week alone saw the culmination of 3 peoples' 2 weeks notice and one new hire who didn't even last a week. On the bright side, its not every week that we see 4 people quit, but when you consider the fact that we are at something like 100 employees, 4 can be considered substantial.
