Initiative Okay, Workload Heavy

Pros

The firm encourages taking initiative to work outside of normal responsibilities.

Cons

Workload is extremely heavy.

Constant deadlines to be met.

It's difficult to learn new skills outside of normal activities due to the heavy workload.

Career advancement is difficult and must wait years if desired.

Advice to Management

Employees drive the results for the company. Yet when the company performs poorly, management gets promoted and reassigned while employees get laid off (I was not laid off, but I saw many people let go). Go figure.
