      Stable company with poor management decisions impacting employees

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable Company (100 years in Business) World Wide Footprint Good Brand Name Diversified Product Line

      Cons

      -Management lost their way with respect to how they treat people -Capricious and Ill-considered management decisions are forcing many good and loyal employees to relocate or quit -Management talks work/life balance but every decision they make seems to take more away from the lives of the people working there -Management has taken to the ideas that all employees are just interchangeable cogs that can be swapped around without consequences

      Great salary and growth opportunities, but culture declining

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great salary, bonus and 401k match. Lots of opportunities for growth

      Cons

      Big corporation, you are just a number (all decisions run through accounting) , culture has been on the decline. Career progression often requires multiple relocations and lots of politics
