Pros

Easy hours, come and go as you please as long as you get your work done. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Pay is at least one-third lower than the rest of the industry, unless you are a new hire.

Management has no interest in career development for most of their employees, only for certain people in the organization.

Promotions are few and far between.

Many employees are just waiting around to get laid off so they can get a (severance) package and then retire.

Future of the company is uncertain.

Advice to Management

Wake up! You need to value all your employees, not just the squeaky wheels in the organization.
