Amazingly talented coworkers, creativity can be rewarded

Sometimes, not all, people are put into management positions and they kill departments. Whether it’s by morale or literally getting rid of employees they don’t like.

Pros

Depends on your team and manager! If you get a good one, it's great. However, if you get a bad one... it's really bad. Luck of the draw.

Cons

Poor director upper management usually from all departments. They often do lay offs every year, sometimes 2-3 times a year to clean management. Thus causing a lot of churn.
