Pros

Good benefits. You are advanced if you are on someone's good side or are a favorite.

Cons

They expect you to work overtime and don't praise the worker bee's. You are treated as a number, and they are always looking at the bottom line. Their termination techniques and terminology make it look like it's a privilege to get laid off.

Advice to Management

Treat your workers like you used to be treated at your first job, when someone really cared about you as a person. Remember how it felt when the first manager you ever had said you suck and would never amount to anything.
