Average company but employee morale is sinking fast

Pros

Company is agreeable to flex time and telecommuting when possible. Interaction between local employees is generally good.

Cons

There is a lot of talk about sharing processes/ideas between groups but it always comes down to "we do it better here." Morale is low and sinking because company treats employees as "assets" not people. Company motto is "Culture of caring" but it is just (and only) that - a motto.
