Run far, far away!!

Pros

Above average benefits and decent co-workers

Cons

The CEO is a very poor leader and afraid of confrontation which creates miscommunication and finger pointing among middle management. Company does not believe in a work-life balance, rather values long hours with antiquated tools and resources. No efficiency in business processes. Siloed department structure. Organization sees employees as pawns versus assets. Bonuses are a thing of the past even though employees are the sole reason anything is accomplished as management continues to sink the ship. A drastic change is needed at the top before there are no employees left. Employee morale at an all-time low!
