Pros

The employees make more than government scale employees.

Cons

Morale is horrible, there is a constant threat of being laid off, superior performance does not guarantee you a job, there is not vision or direction for the company. Seasoned employees are not respected and are being pushed out if the company.

Pros

somewhat flexible work environment, opportunities for professional advancement, immediate management is knowledgeable and caring, pay is reasonable, work load is average for the industry

Cons

No raise two years in a row, although management is awarded multi-million dollar bonuses. Somehow the employees are not seen by management as a justifiable expense to the Treasury, and in order to keep top talent you have to incent them to stay. If the employees are not allowed to have a raise two years in a row, at least implement some type of employee recognition program, or set up regular work from home scenarios. Something to offset the insult of not receiving a raise right before Christmas while the upper management takes home millions of dollars.

Cons

The organization is in a instant state of downsizing and reconfiguring, sometimes seemingly without purpose People are concerned about the future state of the organization and in particular their own positions Confidence in the CEO could be higher
