Pros

My co-workers were always supportive, as were some of the management team. The atmosphere amongst the non-managers is relatively good, and most people get along. People are not out to get your job or step on you.

Cons

There isn't a tremendous opportunity to move up the ladder nowadays. However, most of the managers do not give consistent feedback, either good or bad.

The employees need to hear from the managers, mostly now with the down economy, so they don't have to look over their shoulders all the time. You don't want a team that is paranoid about losing their job.

Advice to Management

I would give your subordinates more consistent feedback concerning their work.
