Pros

Business decisions not influenced by downturn in US economy. Annual bonuses and trips.

Cons

Loyalty is seldom acknowledged or rewarded. Unprofessional and duplicitous behavior is common throughout all levels of management (particularly lower levels). Recognition for achievement is often misappropriated, or misdirected.
