Too many chiefs and box checkers

Pros

The mission is great and I think there are some people who believe in it. There are a lot of great people who work at the company.

Cons

The politics are terrible. There is a complete inability to make decisions. Everything is done for the purposes of checking boxes and covering rear ends. There are too many expensive chiefs being hired but nothing ever seems to get done. Senior management is constantly changing its mind and this is reflected in its decision to do everything and be everything to everyone. The Alternative Work Strategy (i.e. forced telecommuting) is not a good idea.

Pros

Benefits are great although they were once the best in the industry. Now they are the same as everyone else. To me all it is was a decrease in pay.

Cons

communication is very poor from upper management. I really don't think Roger has a clue as to what is going on. The compay keeps saying it is a headcount netural work place however every week an new VP or SVP is hired. There are more high paying high level people now than there ever was. It is very very top heavy
