Pros

Salary and Benefits.

Being able to work from home is nice.

Cons

The company lacks leadership and guidance under the current CEO. It's a "fend for yourself" type environment instead of a team-building, "help the last man standing" type place. Managers only look out for themselves and don't create a cohesive team environment.

Advice to Management

Managers need to start building a team foundation where everyone thrives with new skills and cross-training.

All the reorganizations of certain groups truly drive a wedge between team growth. The reorgs create uncertainty in the organization. People are scared for their jobs with all the layoffs happening. Bad morale for the last 10 years has created a horrible work environment.
