Pros

I had some great coworkers.

Cons

Large corporate company that doesn't care about retaining their long term employees. They would rather see you leave and bring in someone else than increase your pay.

Bad management running a good company into anonymity

Pros

Great people. Excellent benefits. Can achieve a good work/life balance. Opportunity to work on large, challenging projects.

Cons

Management is apathetic and/or incompetent. There are good managers, but they tend to get drowned out by the rigid hierarchy and inefficient management structure. Management lacks vision and drive to grow. No career path for middle management and experienced technical employees who are not part of the "anointed few". Middle management has little or discretion or authority to act on anything. Decisions have to be made at the Unit President level! Stagnant compensation levels for experienced staff, while younger new employees are hired at competitive salaries. High turnover rates and no efforts to correct this trend.

Learned more marketing skills as an administrative assistant

Don't allow other ethnicities within they're click, they lie about there not being enough work then replace you with someone like them, terrible pay, no morals, immature, no opportunities for growth
