Pros

I can work in Vermont.

There are opportunities elsewhere, in and out of the country, should I agree to move.

They continue to employ me.

Cons

Poor working environment, low compensation, and unfair treatment. There is no management leadership or responsibility or accountability. There is no clear path for advancement, so it's not a place for a career. It's a job that pays the bills, and that appears to be all it will ever be.

Advice to Management

Communicate HONESTLY to your employees. We are generally not stupid people and can decipher the smoke and mirrors which are being used to try to placate us into liking the changes made to our compensation and benefits, which offer NO benefits to us as employees. Stop lying, or make it so that your lies about fairness and compensation are in fact true.
