Pros

None I could find. This is an organization full of incompetent leadership. They work on their strategies without knowing who would work to make it a success, as people are highly disengaged.

Cons

The technology team is a monarch run by one individual. He does the finance and HR part as well based on his fancies. The actual HR and finance department are just dummies. Does not let anyone grow apart from himself as he has this right only. Rest all the people working under him are just robots. Expects people to work for 24 hours on meager salaries. No incentive for any hard work. This company is a black hole. If you enter you lose all your skills and would be useless for any other company outside and hence can never come out. Only the smarter one's understand this quickly and leave at the right time. 90% people would leave if given an option. The organization (monarch) is sitting on a time bomb which is soon going to explode as good people would leave due to lack of right recognition and growth. Only the one's who are too comfortable in the sick environment would stay. AOS team would be worst hit. It would be interesting to see what the crowned king would do then. Join this only if you think you are and can work like a robot (aka mule).

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
