Don’t even think about it

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, but they change every year, and seem to be on the decline. Some partners are amazing to work with bc they see the struggle and are trying to find others to help them stay afloat,

Cons

Basically everything else. Upper management cares only about their position and pleasing the board, and the board only cares about making money. I understand it’s a business; but without people, you don’t earn money .
