Pros

Pay is good, benefits are ok (3 weeks plus you can buy a fourth, unlimited sick), meet some nice people

Cons

The CEO sends out email blasts to everyone angry and punitive only to find out his data is incorrect, and the VP has to send a retraction. Management does what they’re told - too many times I hear upper managers remark how they got their position “by just asking”, while the rest of us get nothing for our successes and innovation. Women managers were the worst - created a hostile work environment in order to “fit in”. Also the CEO expects double growth with the constant “but we aren’t doubling staff” comment. Many departments at their limit already. It’s all about the investors now and image, and not human health. Look at the Abbott commercials now - that don’t even make sense.
