Pros

People at a direct management position or below genuinely care. They fight for what they can get, but schedule and budget dictate everything.

Cons

PMs and above don't seem to care at all. As soon as a project goes south (even if it was underbid), prepare to be blamed for everything. All the while, you're being told that the best technicians "learn in the field." I get that there's some self-learning portion, but most employees go two years before their first training class, if they get one at all.

Advice to Management

Invest in your specialists, and you probably won't have such high attrition from people leaving because of frustration.
