Great people, poor pay

Pros

New leadership is promising, but all the lay offs plus salary freeze for 2016 (not even a cost of living increase) -- except for top leadership, who still get bonuses -- is not a great first impression.

Cons

Staff is threadbare with no bench strength or career pathing.

Pros

Good education plan for employment.

Cons

If they buy your company, get your resume out and look for a new position and company. Don't wait for them to lay you off once they acquire your company's clients.
