- 3.0In IT, too many levels of bureaucracyDatabase Administrator • Current EmployeeIrving, Texas, United StatesSeptember 10, 2014Pros: Benefits are good. Focus is on new employees. Annual new hire 'classes' (NAPAs) are hired and trained together.Cons: Far too many levels of management. Promotions are predicated on a corporate structured 'to-do' list rather than on job performance. The review process is determined from the top down, forcing each employee into a predetermined number of rating slots. Company profits used to relate directly to the bonus structure, but this is no longer the case.
