Vantaggi

Midwest conservative company. Founders were born into lots of money and have even more now, the company should be around for a while. If you don't really care about dignity and are ready to retire, it might be the place for you.

Svantaggi

You can notice sudden increase of "positive" reviews on Glassdoor about this company and more frequent response from the company lately. Top company executive has been openly encouraging employees to "let people know the good about the company" in order to average up the review ratings because all the ugly truth on Glassdoor make it difficult to hire talent. As mentioned in the Pros above, it's a midwest conservative company and they have lots of money, so if you are willing to keep your heads down until retirement, this is the place for you. 1. Extremely micro management from top down. You need to punch time card in and out, male needs to wear tie to work, female cannot wear pants unless you have matching coat to come with pants (even in the brutally freezing winter), they have secret "police" to walk around and write up people whose work cube and dress code "violate" company code, audit reports on every tiny thing. 2. Majority of the managers have no management skill. They ignore you when you ask for help and later come back to slam you for not doing your job well enough. 3. Obvious favoritism toward selected people. They prefer to hire/promote people with certain type of appearance and gender. 4. CEO (the female one, not her husband) can be really abusive in language depending on her moods and whether she likes you. 5. CEO (the female one, not her husband) is a big fan of Trump (I guess it can be Pros or Cons depending on where you stand) 6. No clear structure. Depends on what team you're in, an associate manager from one team could be doing the most entry level job day-to-day while associate from another team might have a little more responsibility.
