Pros

Good compensation, leadership opportunities, few boundaries. You rarely hear someone say, "That's not your job." Young, energetic workforce. Fast-paced environment. You will never be bored if you work here.

Cons

Too much focus on cost reduction.

Understaffed and over-worked.

Weak IT infrastructure hinders many customer experience efforts.

Typical corporate environment does not foster creativity.

Layoffs nearly every year.

Typical bureaucratic hurdles and absolutely horrible on-line tools.

The intranet site is the worst I've ever seen.

Impossible to find any information, but easy to waste an hour trying.

Advice to Management

Share your strategy with the rest of us. We don't know where we are going or why.

Advertise our products! Twitter is no substitute for a real marketing campaign.

We can't compete in the current market by using the same tactics that got us here. We will not succeed by competing on price alone.
