CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-The coworkers themselves are great, most inkers are level-headed and great to be around -Healthcare was cheap for the quality you got -Great PTO package

Cons

-Clueless middle management, sometimes even spiteful -Lying upper management, stating they're working on projects for months before actually starting it -Company has lost one of its core values in recent years, not wanting the status quo challenged -Unrealistic increased goals -Priorities change weekly -Pay structure does not reward over-performance, only slightly above average performance -When given the option to make someone feel valued or just another cog, they choose the latter 10/10 times
