I have not seen any "cons" on this website that I don't agree with. All appear to be accurate, in my opinion.

Very little to non-existent on-the-job training. I have not had any in the time I have been with the company.

Not much tasking to work in the area one was trained in, let alone help one grow or learn the latest standards.

Read Iacocca's book "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" and the study "Unskilled and Unaware of It..." by Justin Kruger and David Dunning. Take who you put in management positions more seriously.
