Leaving before bonus

Pros

Physical facility is beautiful. Most non-IT areas have employees who are recognized for accomplishments.

Cons

Associates are leaving at about a 30% turn over and the "good old boys club" run IT and CIO is a building away. Typically they say they want leaders but really want followers of those in the club.

Terrible IT Experience

Pros

Decent benefits. Many nice people that do exhibit Responsibility, Integrity and Excellence.

Cons

Most but not all of IT Management is really something; vindictive when you are not willing to conspire to uphold their lies. Not willing to take accountability for their words or actions or lack thereof. Inexperienced senior leadership whose main focus is to always have a scapegoat available for their failures. Completely chaotic environment with unrealistic expectations. Managers that are good and actually have people skills are seen as weak and not allowed to effectively manage their people.

Incompetent IT Leadership

Pros

IT Management is so bad you can do nothing for months on end. If they catch on, throw out an acronym or buzzword. Your non-management coworkers are exceptionally skilled and have been keeping the company afloat. Don't worry, they're here to help ( Unless they're running behind on something, you'll get thrown under the bus then. )

Cons

Where to start? The incompetence runs so deep. IT Leaders here truly are the bottom of the barrel, in terms of both IT acumen and overall reasoning. Lately there's been a push to bring younger talent in. It's a transparent effort to get fresh grads used to stretching further than their experienced counterparts for less money. If a "leader" has been with the company for a while, they'll even make up positions just to keep them happy, regardless of little they actually contribute. This is the kind of place where leadership actually thinks blanket statements make good policy.
