Pros

I was an employee of SHFL who got purchased by Bally, who then got purchased by Scientific Games. Some of the perks from SHFL carried over such as free lunches quite often, drinks, snacks, etc. There was a lot of technology being used and tons of projects happening which was exciting.

Cons

The company really didn't seem to know how to deal with all of the acquisitions or what to do with the sudden influx of employees. This led to a lot of chaos, a lot of uncertainty and anxiety for everyone involved.

Pros

Great work/life balance, reliable teamwork and support from management, opportunities for growth and exposure to new skills.

Cons

Coaching/overseeing a team in itself has a set of cons, which is what I primarily handle on a daily basis. This comes with any job, but you will have people on your team who need to improve on things such as lack of communication, lack of effort, no work ethic, and lack of skills. Motivating them can be difficult at times, and then you always seem to have a few who do things to avoid work. An accumulation of all these factors subsequently creates more, unnecessary, and redundant work for us. These types of people tend to eliminate themselves out over time due to poor performance and/or quit.
