Pros

Steady paycheck if it’s correct

Cons

People in charge don’t understand the work they are supervising. Try to micro manage. Technology is outdated. Software is outdated. Don’t like to deal with the real issues. Can’t plan more than a week ahead often resulting in backed up inventory, and having to do things over or having to expedite. High turnover of employees. No accountability leads to low work performance. Their proprietary products are easily reverse engineered

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
