Pros

You learn that previous employers weren't as bad as you thought.

Cons

You CANNOT trust them. They acquired us with the usual spiel about being excited to work together etc. Then communication dried up. Bonuses were delayed with little or no communication, what there was was outright lies. Eventually paid, but they decided to change rules and withhold from some (not me, but...) Then they delayed pay rises, no communication. Then they asked us to elect employee representatives "to communicate important issues from time to time". Day N, election complete. N + 1, you guessed, redundancy! If you are being acquired, get your CV updated. They will lie, pick over the carcass of your once proud happy workplace, and move on to the next victim. Don't say you weren't warned.

Pros

None. Unless you count trauma bonding with your coworkers.

Cons

This company can't even pay their own bills. And there isn't enough time to go over all their cons. Here are a few: I work on a team of 3 people now, we used to be 21 I work 10-12 hour days and haven't had a raise in 3 years I am grossly underpaid for my role and experience The Owner doesn't care about morale or his employees
