      Pros

      I could probably do nothing for at least 6 months without anyone noticing.

      Cons

      No communication. No transparency, Silo'ing of information. No training. 100% of the time is spent putting out fires and 0% of time on strategic planning. Upper management doesn't listen. Future plans are all smoke and mirrors. Poor evaluation of talent. Lack of turnover leads to complacency and laziness. "Fibbing" is encouraged and acknowledged by VP level individuals... ie lie to employees and set false expectations to boost work output in the short term.

      Stressful environment

      Pros

      The people - Many of the entry level/worker bees were some of the best friends I ever met. If you were under the right manager, they were very keen on training you for new skills. Not much else, though.

      Cons

      Management. The executive staff created a culture where people were too afraid to say anything other than "yes." This just set up people to fail, and often heads would roll for the smallest mistake. But as long as you were not in the immediate path of the exec team, you might be okay. Unfortunately, it just wasn't a healthy environment to be in at all.

      Pros

      great work environment and room for personal development

      Cons

      Only employees who put in loads of effort and hours are considered ‘Good’.
