Pros

It is a job in this economy, which is a plus no matter what. For someone with no experience there is also a good chance you can get on with this company and cut your teeth.

Cons

VERY political, which always impedes progress. It is also very erratically managed, the direction even from the very top changes weekly so you people working many hours only to accomplish very little. Another CON is that very basic business practices are viewed as this "new" strange concept, or sometimes overlooked altogether.

Pros

The only Pro with this company was having every other Friday off.

Cons

Poor leadership and management culture. In my experience, management positions are often filled from a small, long-tenured group, resulting in limited diversity of thought and few opportunities for outside perspectives. Many leaders lacked the skills needed to effectively develop, mentor, and support their teams. Rather than addressing organizational issues, accountability often seemed to flow downward, with lower-level employees bearing the consequences of management decisions. I also observed talented Program Managers leaving or being terminated under circumstances that suggested they were being held responsible for broader organizational problems rather than receiving appropriate leadership support. Overall, the culture discouraged transparency, accountability, and professional growth.
