Pros

Challenges that keep me focused, that is until the Sr Leadership team chases the next shiny penny. There is obviously no real strategic plan, just people reacting to what they hear each day. They say there is a plan but we live each day and all we see is people trying to undermine each other. There is no us just self survival.

Cons

It is obvious that Leadership is dysfunctional. On a daily basis they work at undercutting each other and trying to take control from each other. The only reason to stay is to have a base to look for a new job. Total lack of respect for different opinions.

Pros

If any, paid time off and holidays. Location is good. Brand name is known.

Cons

Employees are sacrificed at the expense of building the business. Low pay, low chance at opportunity for growth or paid training. Management lacks direction and organization. Long time employees are cast aside in favor of new employees with a connection to new management, with lower performance than those they've replaced. It's shameful how some employees are treated. Actions speak louder than words..... all this talk, the prep rallies, are meaningless. New titles that reduce pay ranges are insulting. It used to be a good place to work, not any longer.
