Pros

Free parking, indoor plumbing. Seriously though, the pay and benefits are above average for Portland.

Cons

HR's only purpose was not to represent the employees but prevent lawsuits. Management did not care for their employees. The atmosphere got so bad they had to call in HR from corporate to deal with the large number of employee complaints...bullying was especially noticeable, this was condoned/encouraged by management. Jobs are being farmed out to Mexico/China to improve margins so your job may not be there for long. Avoid this place like the plague.

Pros

Broadly a good company if you’re in a senior decision making role.

Cons

HR policies are words only. Years go by without ability to take any PTO and carry over not allowed. Friday afternoons, all HR US employees stop working with all others working past normal business hours and into the weekend including late Friday asks to complete an action by Monday 8:00 AM that was known earlier in the week but only communicated to the employee after Friday business hours. Every Friday. Onboarding structure / sink or swim approach, no training. No sense of belonging unless you’ve worked here 20 years plus. No growth or development opportunities unless tapped on the shoulder. Many openings are never published, again tapped on the shoulder approach despite offering to volunteer. Dismissive company culture. Every Voice Counts initiative is code for: if you do share your voice, you are on a list to not consider for promotion or any projects that would give you more visibility across the organization to foster one’s growth.
