Great Work Environment
|
|
Great team that allowed me to gain office experience
allowed me to create designs that would actually get out in the world
|
Not all work actually got the light of day, and would often get cut so the amount of overall work to show from this internship was limited.

Management needs to step up
|
|
Hours Team work within departments Work/life balance Benefits New employees trying to make a difference New employees trying to make employees feel more valued
|
Higher end management doesn’t care about how the employees feel or what they need to thrive in a work place. It all comes down to the pennys. In a working environment sometimes your ROI is retention. Everyone is scared to try things outside of the box and it’s always said that’s the way it’s always been done. Someone in management positions needs to step up and help all employees.

Listen to your people. "We have always done it this way." is a terrible way to run a company.
Update technology, machines, and products.
You hire people for their experience, don't discount what they say once you have hired them because they see things differently than you.

Let's do the time warp again
|
|
Good work/life balance - Rarely worked beyond regular work hours.
Stable job in a stable company
Reasonable benefits and pay
|
1st place I've heard, in a non-joking fashion, "We do it this way because that's how we've always done it."
I also now understand the saying, "missed the forest for the trees." Company focused on what is right in front of them and no vision of the surroundings and future.
Antiquated: technology, top-down business model, methods.

Change has no emotion tied to it. Approach it as a necessity, not something to be feared, or embraced. It is just something that has to happen. Allow employees the chance to try, and perhaps fail, but also succeed. By people trying, growth will happen. That corny quote of, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." is something to consider.
Update systems and process to entice new hires. Getting rid of most of the wood paneled walls, in 2015, helped, but it is more than what is on the walls. Most employees seem afraid of the CEO. Not a whole lot of companies maintain success through fear-based management. Maybe pirates in the 1700s.

Good Security, No Growth Opportunities
|
|
Been around for a long time in Eau Claire, WI. Limited demands on time; very predictable environment.
|
Micromanagement, very conservative business planning. President is third generation and makes most of the major decisions. Focus on controlling costs rather than promoting growth.
