Pros

Some good people, not necessarily in the right positions.

Cons

Endless references to values and family atmosphere, and career progression. However, at the end of the day, you are fully aware you are a small cog in a giant machine. Compensation and promotions are a complete mystery, with an utter lack of transparency.

Advice to Management

If you are to deny payrises and bonuses year after year, at least justify them to the staff, rather than a blanket corporate fob-off. Some people may not deserve them, some may, so arbitrary blanket cuts do nothing to instil loyalty in the workforce.
