Below average pay, low opportunity for advancement

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great "brand name" to have on a resume. Mid level management great to work with.

Cons

No opportunity for further education or training, and thus in an industry rife with competitors, the company remains behind the times. Not a great place to work if you're interested in doing new things or innovating. High pressure from upper management who don't walk the talk. Top talent ditched as soon as they could cash out stock options; the ones that remain simply want to stick to the status quo.

People from different departments are only focus on their own short-term goal. Employees don't clearly know the common long-term goal or company's competitive strategies.
