Pros

The small office atmosphere in the Livermore office is great! Everyone is very friendly.

Cons

There is no true training on how to do the job and every group has a different way of doing things and different kinds of reports they run, so you can only get direction from your own group on how to do things even if they are located hundreds of miles away in a different office. They also use too many programs which do not communicate with each other, so it is difficult to find information and to even know where to go to find it. There are very few people within the entire organization that know how to pull information from the systems to create reports for quicker analysis than manually looking up the information per item and per program.

Pros

There are plenty of talented people that go beyond their responsibilities to make this company a great place to work at. Many company sponsored training opportunities and the benefits are still more than most companies today offer their employees.

Cons

No room for growth. Upper management is afraid of change and continue to do business like it was 1970 and has unrealistic budget expectations. Very siloed. Less capable employees are promoted while highly talented employees are over looked, over worked and under valued. No succession planning, knowledge is not shared, and cross training. Salaries are lower than industry standards. All confidential HR communication is commonplace knowledge.
