Pros

Fair benefits, flexible environment, relevant educational resources if you can find them. Finally got rid of Lotus Notes.

Cons

Bloated, too many chiefs not enough Indians, disconnected executives establishing unrealistic goals, poor career development, poor salary and retention, lack of internal job transfers.

Advice to Management

Treat employees like people, not resources.

Open up internal transfers and promotions.

Spend more resources on retention rather than "initiatives".
