Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Initial COVID-19 response was slow. The response continues to be an embarrassment and a slap in the face for office employees.

Pros

Family environment with current employees minus all of the managers

Cons

NEW Management is not knowledgeable about the company and insist on doing their way which don't involve showing any appreciation or care for the employees, NEW management from the CEO down is driving the company in the ground. All the good managers are leaving this company like the plague. Unless you previously worked for either Motorola or Tell labs you will not move up in the company. The company continues to hire from the outside instead of promoting from within and training employees. The company doesn't have a career development plan for employee, so employees have a glass ceiling. Company has a serious problem with lack of communication. The company need to stop changing the organization every 3 months, stick to one plan.

Pros

My co-workers are very nice and the new $250k foyer is very pretty.

Cons

Used to be a pleasure working for them when long term managers were in charge who understood the business and knew how to treat people but not now. The empty suits now in charge at UP and Oak Brook are all leaders in name only who have alienated many employees with their corporate CYA attitudes, brown nosing and trendy buzzwords. It's criminal how a 100 year old, once great company has come to this. Many rumors of malfeasance by top management are rife in the company and many are planning to leave.
