Pros

None anymore.....everything that made you feel good about coming to work has been eliminated..... No stone unturned to save a nickel

layoffs, benefit reductions, bonus reductions, 401k reductions......morale in the tank.....staff development-not on the agenda. If there is anything still left to take away they'll find it...
