Pros

Not a whole lot of pros

Cons

The CEO and other SLT members think that giving people a free hot dog lunch and the possibility of a 20 cent raise will make them excited and loyal- while they fly around the world on the company dime and lecture on the need for spending less. It’s ridiculous.

Low pay Toxic work environment Employees are overwork and underpaid There is not growth opportunity unless you are within the "boys group" High performance is rewarded with more work Managers give made-up negative feedback during performance reviews to prevent team members from getting a decent bonus. There is not room for innovation.
