Pros

Diverse benefits including stock grants and profit sharing.

Cons

Large company with a lot of turnover in executive and upper management. Vision and strategy change too frequently for employees to embrace, so they mostly ignore the noise and work heads down instead of working for a common goal.

Advice to Management

When you make decisions and strategic changes, allow employees to embrace the vision. This takes time and effort in evangelizing that vision. If you change things every 6 months, employees learn to ignore you.
