Business outlook

Pros

None. Seriously None. If you don't want to work in a hostile environment. Managers control and micromanage their staff.

Cons

Bad bosses don’t really value their employees, and the employees can feel it. In turn, they stop making their best effort. When you don’t feel appreciated and valued, you are less likely to bring your best self to work, and you are less likely to flourish on your projects.
