Pros

The "workers" still have faith in IBM, even though management is trying to break that faith. IBM has a very flexible work policy.

You can pretty much work your own hours as long as you get your job done. That's one of the things that first-line managers still have control over.

Cons

The erosion of benefits, retirement, and salary, along with the offshoring of jobs, has taken a terrible toll on employee morale. Having been around to see the days of management that cared about employees, it really breaks my heart to see what IBM has turned into.

Advice to Management

Care about your employees as much as you care about the stockholders, and the company will thrive.
