Pros
It technically qualifies as employment. Plus, so far my pay checks haven't bounced but that's probably only a matter of time since the executive team needs to continue getting drunk in the owner's box at Blazers home games for $4 million a year.
Cons
The company picks the States it goes into business in based on where The CEO's friends and family want to work. The company lost a boatload going into Alaska just so the CEO's kid could work close to where he likes to go fishing. It will be interesting to see if all of the executive's kids keep their jobs during the layoff. They also once wasted a lot of money putting together a horribly sexist comic book they sent to the employees. Most companies don't waste their marketing budget on a comic book that they only distribute internally. Also, it was a comic book about insurance which is exactly as terrible an idea as it sounds. They kept on the CMO though, as he's one of the CEO's friends. So, yeah, lots of nepotism and "yes men". Their reliance on the ACA risk corridor was just the latest in a long line of poorly researched business decisions based on the executives agreeing with whatever the CEO says.
