Good pay, a lot of bureaucracy

Pros

Good pay, stable job, bussing to work site.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy, very slow to change and adapt, manager is psychotic, management in general is very inconsistent. The operation is very inefficient. They hire consultants, not so they can actually improve, but because they themselves are highly incompetent. They don't know how to implement any of the things the vendors push on them. Departments just point fingers at each other, they don't work with each other for the benefit of the business. A lot of managers just throw tantrums like three year olds when they get pressured because they have no leadership or people skills. Promotions are very much politically based. True job perfomance doesn't matter, either good or bad. Oh, and did I mention my manager is a huge psycho?

Leading by fear avoid if possible

Pros

Decent pay, medical, vacation, 401K...all OK.

Cons

If greed is your motivation in life, this place might be a perfect fit for you. Management leads with fear, make a mistake, say the wrong word, look the wrong direction take an opposing view to upper management, and your out. To complicate matters as a "Front Line Supervisor" you must be ready to deal with a Union that is among the worst in the nation...if they don't like you your out, and if management does not like you, your out. Your between the rock and the hard place in the ground. They motivate you and the union workers with fear of job loss and micro management in an economy that is hurting and jobs hard to find...but the union has lawyers to fight for them, but as a supervisor, your on your own. It's like having the KGB around, trust nobody and I mean nobody. The rumor mill is the worst I have ever experienced and your back at times has a huge X to mark the spot. Management has knee jerk reactions to situations without giving it much thought...its like a dictatorship. Your assimilate like the Borg in Star Trek.

Pros

Global company, well diversified, good money, decent benefits, very nice office location

Cons

Toxic environment, no scope for career growth, most likely will merge or get sold, executive team is clueless, they have no credibility, its a kill or get killed and the industry is unlikely to get healthy anytime soon
