Pros

The pay is at or above average at this time, when it seems like so many companies are trying to pass less. The benefits are still great compared to many other companies, but they are cutting back and the playing field is beginning to even.

Cons

The management is toxic. You tend to be overworked as they drive to unrealistic schedules.

There are management favorites, and if you are not already one, there is no chance to become one. All management wants surrounding them are toadies and sycophants.

I know this sounds harsh, but it has not always been this way. I have been with this company for over 15 years, and I am actively looking for a new position because I cannot take anymore.

Advice to Management

Trust your employees to do their job. Treat them like professionals and value their input. Realize that you don't know everything. Build teams instead of trying to rule by fear.
