Pros

Getting paid while doing nothing or having nothing to do.

Cons

Bosses willing to listen. Are you joking? There are some uncouth managers in the Asian structure who pretend to know everything made it verbally clear that people working under the hierarchy not good enough, not reliable, not motivated when they themselves are second rate managers from second rate insitutions who have no people skills whatsoever so of course you cannot motivate employees. This is not the fault of employees.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
