Pros

The pay is good, the people I work with on a daily basis are phenomenal. The CEO doesn't seem to understand that if cuts need to be made to payroll for looking good on an IPO, that the managers would have probably made wise choices. I had good managers.

Cons

The CEO and corporate logic on handling things. If you're making drastic changes right before an IPO and decide to cut members of your online production and copy departments, don't be surprised when your website looks poor in one month because your workers have been overburdened. Why cut 500 jobs if you're going to have to hire more workers back in a month, retrain and spend just as much if not more on payroll? Why not just be honest on paper for the IPO?
