Pros

Very flexible, latest technology, good work environment.

Cons

So many layers of management, each trying to impress the other. No one has anything to do, so they concentrate on minor "improvements" just to prove they have a reason for a job.

Working in IT, the IT support staff is more worried about quotas of tickets taken than solving any problem. They believe they are the customer, rather than the Ford dealerships.

Older engineering types are typical white middle-class conservative males living in the well-off suburbs, complaining about anything new that disrupts their comfortable worldview.

Advice to Management

Have your managers actually sit down with their employees and see what they do for a living. Most don't seem to understand or care.
