Great company, extremely poor management

Pros

- Great company - Decent benefits (including 401k and discounted stock purchase) - Decent pay, though other similar companies pay more

Cons

- Extremely poor management (rarely do the managers know and understand the jobs they supervise) - Reactive instead of Proactive (they are really good at pointing out what you are doing wrong when you're already struggling, but don't count on getting proactive help) - Does not value loyalty or industry knowledge (they constantly bring in people from outside to fill positions, rather than hiring from within)
