Executive disdain for working class, corporate greed on blatant display.

Pros

If you have no other option.

Cons

Constant downsizing of staff/distribution of increasing work to remaining staff is exhausting - management indifferent. Salaries frozen since 08 recession (even a 2% annual 'increase' is a joke). Job titles changed to avoid bonus payout to workers/ Bonus money still funneled to high paid Directors/Execs. 401k taken away to add more stress. If concerns voiced, told to get another job if you don't like it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good hard working front line employees.

Cons

Extremely bad autocratic leadership at the corporate level. The entire corporate leadership team lacks even the most basic people skills. Their actual distribution knowledge is also weak with limited or nonexistent original thoughts. People in regional or local leadership roles have left regularly. If you are a free thinker and believe in the value of people you will not fit into this work environment.
