      Favoritism is right in our faces and nothing we can do about it. This is from top management in all areas, including HR

      Pros

      In this tough economy those of us left are fortunate to have a job.

      Cons

      In reference to the "pros" above, management never misses an opportunity to remind us how lucky we are to have a job regardless of how we are treated. Managers have favorites and those favorites are allowed special privileges over the less favored. Employees not given opportunity to speak their true feelings. Even during Town Hall meetings. The questions asked during the Town Hall meetings are scripted and those who speak are chosen by management. There is no equality between departments or even within departments.

      Top heavy yet lacking leadership

      Pros

      People are generally friendly. The company has some good products that genuinely benefit customers and they intend to do the right thing for customers.

      Cons

      Current org structure has too many managers, not enough actual doers. People are more concerned about personal status and empires than actually doing a good job. Very siloed. Managers may have subject matter expertise but generally aren't very strong leaders and don't do much to develop people. Hard work is rewarded with more hard work. Political maneuvering is rewarded with promotions.
