Pros
- Great projects to work on - A feeling of doing good for the environment - Lots to learn - Great colleagues (but these seem to be reducing in number) - Work can be hard, but rewarding. - Good place to get a footing, and then move on to other prospects.
Kontras
The company used to have a good culture, but now it is all about projecting the perception of a good culture. - Leadership team is not aligned (but tries hard to "appear" to be). Recent departure of a leadership team member. - Company wants to hear the voice of employees (but in the end everything appears to be vetoed by one person). - Upper management does not trust the hard work of employees (it used to in the recent past). - President wants controls all projects, but often is too detached to understand the intricacies of the project. - New middle management team has a sense of entitlement and is in over their head at times. - Too many procedures and systems for a small company - administrative bloat slows things down to a crawl . - Long timers are unable to change their archaic ways because they do not know any other way. If you want to do things a different/new way, you are looked down upon. What worked 30 years ago doesn't work now! - Env. Techs end up doing menial work around the office. Why?
