Pros

The people are the best. I don't think you will hear differently from anyone. Everyone has good intentions and good ideas.

Cons

There is a constant change in direction at upper management. Goals are lofty, change quickly, and adequate resources are not given to achieve them.

Pros

Most of the working class people actually care about doing a good job and taking care of customers. Most of the direct supervisors and managers try to do the right thing. It's cool to have people like the stuff we design.

Cons

The executives don't know anything about how the business actually works and they don't even try to make an effort to find out. They don't ask opinions of people who actually do the work or who talk to the customers at the field. They rush things through without thinking them through and end up putting out product that is crap so they ruin any hope of keeping customers.
