Pros

The people I work with immediately are great people and honest workers. The pay is good.

Cons

The company itself does not care about its employees. They are quick to lay off and let go, and it's causing their company to become a stepping stone rather than a career builder.

There is no accountability in upper management. They all look after each other to keep their bonuses.

I feel like I signed on to a job rather than a career. It's pretty much expected that you'll leave within a year or two for another position. They provide absolutely no incentive for employees to stay.

Advice to Management

Learn to value your employees. Having to teach young guns and then burn them out in a year, over and over, is extremely expensive.
