Pros

there are none or very little that could be said. Some hard working employees

Cons

negative/poor attitudes, nobody taking responsibilities, everyone blames others. old out dated systems based on DOS, very manual processes. no suggestions taken for improvements, lack of addressing issues or concerns, employees are there just to get the pay, "we been doing it like this" culture. lot of fake "yes i'll get it done". very little support provided, HR need to do a better job.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

The ship is sinking, which is a shame. At one time, a great company culture. People are fleeing in droves.
