Pros

The industry and the company has been doing well thanks to the hard work of all the all the employees.

Cons

No career advancement plans for new employees. Mafia mentality with certain ethnicities dominating others. The large variability in base pay and bonuses and lack of annual raises are making good people move elsewhere. The pay for performance line is just a slogan used by the CEO at quarterly meetings; not enough transparency on how reviews and bonuses are tied.
