Pros

The pay is not too bad for my level of experience and benefits are ok considering the times and shape of the economy. My position gives me quite a bit of freedom to accomplish what is needed.

Cons

Communications could be better from senior management to lower level managers. There seems to be a disconnect between senior management and lower managers. Extremely top heavy company: a VP or Pres for every GM it seems. Too many middle men built into the organization, could be way more efficient. At times the mid level mangers have unreal demands and offer very little in the way of support to help meet those demands.
