Pros
Steady industry Benefits are somewhat competitive Can be average your entire career
Cons
Competitive silos which turn departments against each other. Mandated return to work policies that are out of touch and inflexible. Company performance reviews are not based on performance but on tenure. There is no incentive to take on more work or going above and beyond as this does not reflect in your pay, review, or opportunities for internal promotion - this cultivates the work culture of doing just enough to get by. Lazy and inefficient employees thrive as there are no consequences. This demoralizes and demotivates dedicated employees who wonder why they took on more work just to get the same performance pay outs. Processes and policies are restrictive and focus on spending control but the bottle neck processes are costing more than they are saving in terms of poorer quality and delays.
