By far the worst company I have worked for in my career.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Nice offices located in the heart of a revitalized downtown Toledo. Reasonably priced, company subsidized parking.

Cons

Poor corporate culture, departmental silos, mostly uncooperative and unfriendly employees, archaic systems, processes and business practices. Horrible union contracts that make efficient operations and providing a high level of service to customers almost impossible.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits with nice vacation time (except, depending upon your manager, some don't really want you to use it). Clean and modern office space. Some friendly co-workers.

Cons

Constantly restructuring leadership and upper level management. Has an extremely high turnover rate which is widely known around the Toledo community, and is not a good thing under any circumstance. Horrible communication across departments.

Disappointing Change In Leadership

Pros

You'll get your check on time. There were at least some good people still working for the company before I quit, but I have to imagine that more than a few of them have either retired or left by now.

Cons

Too many to list. The CEO, Board of Directors, and Senior Management will not care about you - unless you're one of their relatives or cronies put into a superfluous position to get paid twice as much as the people doing the real work for the company. CEO, et al. would not hesitate to fire a dozen employees if they thought it will raise their stock price by a dime. They would shut down a plant or an entire department and ship the jobs oversees just so the banks and millionaire investors who run this broken-down circus could make a few more bucks at the expense of the family and communities of the Toledo area. Do not work for this company if you expect to be treated with anything even remotely resembling fairness or parity.
