Pros

Great opportunities for promotion and education. You could move up or stay in your position. When I was there, from 1995 through 2003, management encouraged upward mobility.

Cons

It's very difficult to get a decent pay raise due to pay band compression. New hires were frequently given higher salaries over established, more senior workers.

Advice to Management

Go back and look at the original list from Mr. Watson and reinstate his core values.

Those ideas never go out of style.
