Pros

In my department employee are treated like incompetent criminals. The level of micromanagement is unbelievable! Part of this problem probably stems that supervisors have little to no management experience or training. Drama, office politics and spite are the name of the game. Morale is very low and attitudes are correspondingly bad. Systems are clunky and out-of-date and employee suggestions are ignored. I’ve seen colleges work 12-hour days for months on end and get reprimanded for not doing enough work. If you are a hard worker you are awarded with more work and no recognition or praise. Overall, my department contains a good deal of talented, highly educated professionals but it feels like junior high. Very high turn-over. Maybe other departments are better!

Cons

Employees treated with little respect, office politics, miserable people, no growth, managers with no training, no work-life balance, micromanagement, out-of-date job tools
