      Business outlook

      Pros

      As with most firms there are good a bad, I was growing the group in the office (and still giving away work to other offices) and the President then developed Change is Good (GIG). It was the "pro" it is was allowed my group to grow from me to 5 and was at a point to grow to 8 to 12.

      Cons

      The con was we could not hire until we had the work but that hampered the growth, then in spite of working thru overwhelming bullies and impediments to progress and having the good profits for the year, was told we did not have enough work.

      Pros

      They were flexible with my work schedule, which allowed me to better care for my children.

      Cons

      There is no team or camaraderie. Everyone just comes in, does their work, and leaves. There is no effort made to get to know anyone on a personal level. The focus was always on procedures instead of people. Too much attention is given to menial details instead of big picture goals. In my entire time here, I don't believe my VP ever said two words to me. And my direct manager only spoke to me when it was about a specific project (or to point out something that was done incorrectly). There was no positive feedback or encouragement. The decision to leave was an easy one.
