Pros
- Decent salaries and benefits. - Great location in the Presidio. - A lot of good co-workers (non-management), willing to help you out. - Most of the time it's engaging work. - Pretty cool to say you work for "Star Wars".
Cons
- Micromanagement from the boss. - Unprofessional bosses - temper tantrums, swearing, criticizing other employees (and sometimes even *their* managers) to you, constant complaining that they don't have enough time to do their work (same with us but you don't see us complaining!) - Very political (considering we're not working on Capitol Hill.) - Not much growth opportunity. - Too much work, not enough time. - No credit for your work sometimes or the boss takes the credit for it. - Managers who make themselves look good at the expense of the employee. - Unclear communication from the boss and then they blame you if things go wrong. - Bad communication between different departments resulting in last-minute emergencies, duplication of jobs, missed deadlines. - Slow to get things done. Less talking and meetings, more doing. - Not given the proper tools to do your job.
