Hire and Fire- Worst

Pros

Salary is too high and its a trap.

Cons

1. Hire and Fire is very common every year since last 2 to 3years. November and April. 2. Leadership team itself has been changed twice. 3. ERPs are not up to date and lack of knowledge. Lot of mess. 4. Job is always risky. It's like putting family at risk. I had been laidoff in nov 24 and still job less. Struggling. I suggest no one to fall in this kind of trap and no one should suffer like me. Company financials review would give clear picture of the company where it's heading towards. Share price graph openly talks the situation. I have suffered and still suffering. Supported till midnight 2am even the day before layoff.

Pros

Consistent paycheck, but little else

Cons

Have worked for company for 5 years and changes in the past year have ruined the company. We as managers were once told to "run it like you own it." Now it is put a check in the box and this is when you will work, without flexibility. Now working 55 hours per week, they violate their own handbook and discriminate against those who are faithful to any religion. Was a good place to work, is no longer. Advancement inside of the company is a joke, You are made promises and carrots are waived on sticks until you bite then they are jerked away.
