Pros
  • Good pay and benefits.
  • Employee retention is important to them.
  • Good name recognition for future employment.
  • If you take care of their interests, they will take care of you.
Cons
  • The work largely doesn't help anyone who needs help.
  • Long hours and unpaid overtime.
  • An aged employee base means the next 5 years will be difficult as they begin to retire.
Advice to Management

Don't shuffle your most skilled Group Leaders because they push back.

Ask yourself, 'Why is this man with more technical knowledge pushing back?'
