Pros

Pay/Benefits but not worth the abusive work environment

Cons

Poor management. Borderline harassment by upper management and zero direction. Your objectives change day to day. It’s like management just kicks a can down the road or throws processes on the wall and hopes for one to stick. You are lied to and upper management will stab you in the back to climb the corporate ladder or even to make them look good over trying to develop their direct reports.
