Pros

Good benefits. Lots of training opportunities.

Cons

Company in decline. Lots of talent leaving.

Retention and advancement driven by demographics, not merit.

This is not a personal complaint. It is my experience when attempting to advance top talent and being denied.

Advice to Management

Figure out what you want to be when you grow up. A lack of a growth plan is obvious.
