Pros

Money was a big factor in why I took the job. Other than that, not much else was good about Arizona, except I met and maintain three strong friendships from there.

Cons

I was there during the huge layoff period. Anyone with any sense could see that things were going downhill fast, yet no senior management would provide a straight answer.

Actually listening to senior management made me sick. "It hurts me every time I have to lay off people..." Not as if any senior management was really ever laid off.

Advice to Management

Clean the house from the top down and get rid of people who have spent their lives there.

I'm sick of hearing about how it used to be in the good old days; well, those days are gone, and you need new people to bring about future good days. Your current management team cannot do it.
