Pros
  • Encouragement to be the best you can be.
  • Learning opportunities are good.
  • Management encourages creative thinking.
Cons

Management will work you to the bone. They are trying to do too much with too few resources, constantly making me feel overwhelmed, and in the end unappreciated.

There are too many processes hindering productivity and causing frustration beyond belief.

Internal organizations don't always work well together. Getting help or cooperation from other organizations is problematic and another point of frustration.

Advice to Management

Don't be so tight with salary increase pools. Haven't seen much leadership? Try to step it up, or replace the laggards with those who will excel.
