Failing work culture

Pros

- Autonomy depending on job - Take breaks (two allowed) when you want - can accrue good PTO after working here 10 years.

Cons

-No accountability on careless management destroying company culture. - underqualified and egotistical management (especially middle management) - dysfunctional almost non existent human resources. - super high turn over. Most employees are temps - no transparency on job progression or pay - low pay - horrible health insurance - no inventives - no idea sharing or innovation - absentee leaders ( especially executive level) - seems like the new business strategy for keeping costs low is to hire low pay accepting minorities. - education, qualification, experience not required to move up within company. Only need favoritism.
