Pros

They pay well (when the bonus is paid out) Their corporate vision around environmentalism was interesting (but empty)

Cons

- Leadership changes their strategy on a quarterly basis - Very immature and old-school leaders; out of touch with workforce and industry trends/best practices - The corporate hierarchy is made up of managers who only manage perception upwards and mismanage their teams downwards - Incompetent, jerk executives across organizations were normal - Bad mid- and upper-management was rewarded financially and with more responsibilities (regardless how unhappy top employees were with their leadership) - Quarter after quarter of missed deadlines, broken promises, wasted budget, bad priorities due to upper management ineptitude (not workforce incompetence) - What does this endemic mismanagement lead to? No reward for the workforce -- over a year without merit increases or bonuses! (bonuses had been paid out for the past 10 years until now)
