Pros

Decent pay, some good coworkers.

Cons

Unethical management; hostile, abusive and inappropriate behavior as the culture has allowed it for far too long. Visually and ideologically you have stepped into the 1950's. Even worse than the usual Old Boys Club behaviors are as follows: 1. The way you are easily discarded (by way of being smeared, then bullied and targeted) once it's ascertained you won't be of any "use" to certain higher-ups/VPs. 2. The WOMEN there who support the Old Boys Club (They should hang their heads in shame.). It was scary to have to work among some men who clearly suffer from arrested emotional development. I was starting to feel like I was the subject of a running bet between a group of men. Forget about HR. They will not only support unethical behavior from management, they will help execute it. Scratch the surface and get to the truth: newer employees basically have no rights within the iron gate.

Pros

Some of the benefits are great.

Cons

There appears to be a significant issue with favoritism and conflicts of interest within certain areas of the organization. In some cases, close personal relationships between managers and employees seem to influence opportunities, recognition, and how people are treated. This creates a perception that being part of an inner circle is valued more than performance, accountability, and doing quality work. Employees who are not part of these groups can feel excluded, overlooked, or treated differently. There are also concerns about inconsistent standards, where certain individuals appear to have more flexibility or latitude than others.
