Pros

Flexibility to work from home.

Cons

1) No action taken against you is based on work merit. 2) Management is extremely poor and unbiased in many of their managerial decisions. Several of the managers have been with the company a very long time and refuse to change, so they should probably be replaced. But no one looks at management's performance only their salaries when it is time to reduce staff. 3) If you EVER have any sort of problem with ANYTHING it is best you keep it to yourself, management will target you for ANY issue or concern you bring to them, no matter what the issue is. And other employees and consultants CANNOT BE TRUSTED keep your complaints to yourself. 4) Lake of cohesiveness amongst teams/coworkers or anyone else that works within the same business unit.- This is not enforced from an executive level team so it is not enforced anywhere else within the company. 5) Cannot trust or accurately train new team members/co-workers for fear of being replaced by that person because management is so sneaky and underhanded. Nor can you share work for the same reason.-- this is known or felt throughout the entire company by MANY employees. 6) Incentives, bonuses, is not based on your work merit or job performance but more on your likeability with management. You could be dumb as a rock and your work output erroneous and low level with very little effort and concern for a job well done and management will worship the ground you walk on with incentives, raises, bonuses, comfort in knowing your role is secure. it's is almost as if management is jealous or hateful of you if you take pride in your work and give 110%--but at the end of the day no one cares how good or great your work is only how much your are liked. 7) Work Morale is extremely low on a very regular basis as a result of all of the above. 8) The ability to advance from within is a joke. Talent Acquisition almost never selects or considers a candidate from within 9) The company overall has poor values and does not appreciate their employees. 10) The technology and process used are so dated that it is difficult for you to find a new job with the lackluster skills and experience you acquire or retain as a result of working for this company. Had I known this before becoming employed I would not have accepted the offer. Just imagine being in a rut of a company that progressed very slowly compared to the rest of the industries and years later trying to find a new job only to find out your knowledge and skills acquired from your last employer are outdated because there is no growth provided from the company. no training. old resources, outdated software and equipment
