Pros

Upper level management looking out for each other at the cost of employees. Great if you are a VP or higher.

Cons

New CEO is the worst. Since taking over a little over 5 years ago. He has sold off most of the company and has laid off over 11,000 people. The latest layoffs happen this month which was 4,000.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
