Pluspunten
- The pay is reasonable, but not great - Midwestern tax rates and housing prices makes for a fairly low cost of living - There are currently few serious competitors in their core business
Minpunten
- Management always seems to be a work in progress. Lots of greenhorns and newbies that come and go like the seasons. - I don't remember seeing anyone in HR that appeared to be over 30, yet they stand as gatekeepers as to who gets hired or fired, and they claim to be able to arbitrate disputes among people with twice their age and experience, with predictable results. - Corporate sloganeering, bureaucracy and micromanagement is as bad as it gets. There is a new global poobah of diversity every other week, and there is an affinity group for every special interest under the sun. Your inbox will fill up with this pabulum in very short order if you don't constantly delete it. After a 10 hour work day and never really being free of the place, employees are expected to perform "community service," sort of like a teenager on probation for a petty crime. - Upper management haunts the place like Jacob Marley's ghost. They seldom come to our plane of existence, but it's just as well, because we never know what on earth they are talking about anyway. - Columbus, Indiana is purgatory. The town PR effort tries to portray it as vibrant and interesting, but in reality it is a backwards industrial town that is dull at best, and half of it is quite gritty and depressing. The courtesy of drivers and service workers is often appalling. If you ever walk or bicycle anywhere, you will be shocked to find that Columbus natives truly believe that the bigger vehicle always has the right of way. Check out the crime rates--the statistics aren't pretty.
