Pros

Great people, great benefits, and culture.

Cons

Management can be a mixed bag of good and bad.

It's not great when it comes to working on promoting within.

Some management can consist of a "good ol' boy" network, i.e., managers hiring colleagues based on prior friendship.

Advice to Management

Care more about your people than you care about looking good to your superiors. Don't throw good team members under the bus in order to kiss up to your next-level management.
