Very frustrating for anybody with ambition. Very hard to get anything accomplished. A few motivated individuals struggle to get things done with meager support from management. Senior managers devise strategic plans in a vacum and fail to devote necessary resources to strategic initiatives. Much inter-departmental bickering and finger-pointing. Try to get something big done and you will have a target on your back - very stressful. Management lacks the will to set priorities and focus resources.
A lot of dead wood in the staff - poorly educated, unskilled, unmotivated staff - very hard to get cooperation. The place clears out at 5pm on the dot. Hard work is not rewarded.
