Pros
+ pay if you start at a good level + bonuses + job security + lots of different areas to work, opportunities + gives young people chance at management + you will have a lot of responsibilities so it can make you more marketable later... because they will make you wear 10x more hats than someone else in the industry
Cons
- decision-making gridlock is the norm - culture of escalation... people will go above you if they don't like your answer... - undermining runs rampant - poor morale because everyone is frustrated - too many fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants decision-making - no sales or strategic planning... everything is sell for today - do now, think later leading to a lot of inefficiencies - Marketing Dept. is a mess which is a symptom of the company being a mess... Marketing is reflective of how the company sees itself and how they want to be perceived to customers/potential customers - You'll hear "well that's Medline" meaning this place is crazy because of all of the above
