Pros
Some of the nicest people you'll meet outside of management, employees work together despite obstacles, and employees look out for each other
Cons
After working in management for a year, these are my observations: -Management and the owner/CEO are often not on the same page. The CEO often tries quick fixes to problems without addressing the underlying issues. -Morale is very low. Most employees are paid below market, and there is a big motivation problem that is being ignored. -The owners and management are quick to point fingers and blame individual employees for systemic issues across the board. -There is little investment in employee training and retention. Motivation is done by threats to cut pay or remove incentives. -Managers are given responsibility but no authority to accomplish their projects. -There is not enough transparency between ownership, management, and the employees. Miscommunications trickle down from the very top.
