Pros

Great people, who soldier on despite lousy pay and lousy expectations for promotions or bonuses. I was content to stay there for that reason only.

Cons

Management fixated solely on the $20 EPS goal for 2015, which they are trying to achieve by slashing payroll and spending to the bone. I really think the intent is to milk the cow to death and walk away from the carcass.
