Pros

Good fringe benefits. On site gym. Health program is nice.

Cons

Inexperienced industry leadership. From the top down, these individuals are very set on achieving unrealistic goals, and they slash corporate bonuses when these goals are not met. In addition to their unrealistic goals, they are completely out of touch with their reports, and the organization structure of the company promotes an attitude of zero accountability, which exacerbates the adversity towards continuous improvement.
