Pros

Immediate managers and teammates tend to be really good, and they offer good benefits.

Cons

Upper management can often be out of touch.

Company goals keep changing, and there is bad communication between management; just a total mess sometimes.

Advice to Management

I think the lower-level people managers (like the first 2-3 levels) are really good, but a lot of the time upper management is extremely bad at communication and out-of-touch with what lower level employees need.
