Cons

Management is in constant disarray, and "re-org" should be the company motto. If you are on the higher end of the salary range, expect to be "rifted out" for fresh thinking and new thoughts. This means they will hire lower-paying replacements to make the numbers look good, at the same time sacrificing experience for new replacements.

Cronyism is alive and well. If you are in the clique or inner circle, you are destined for a raise, a bonus, and will not be affected by the new blood mantra. Otherwise, expect to be "rifted out."

If you're in the inner circle, you have nothing to worry about. If you're not part of the good old boy network, prepare to be disappointed.

Advice to Management

Learn to understand that experience and knowledge comes at a price.

To expect new thought to take the place of experience and expertise is foolish at best.
