Pros
Job security, opportunity to succeed, personal accountability, competitive benefits and compensation, ability to influence positive change, and your job can provide purpose and meaning rather than a means to an end. A place where you can develop a rewarding and meaningful career.
Cons
Personality conflicts and cliques reign supreme. People are not treated well and there is a large amount of disrespect towards others. There seems to be a pervasive attitude of covering your tracks and having zero trust in others. Perception is more important to Management style than actual tangible results. You are measured on results, but rated based on your perception. Management places to high a value in peer reviews and spends little time recognizing accomplishments. There is also a lack of motivation to challenge the norm due to fear of reprisal and public humiliation that will negatively impact your perception. Personal objectives, motivation and agenda will most often trump organizational objectives, and if recognized, the organizational objectives will begin to align with personal agenda. Meetings are a lesson in the "chink in the armor" approach, where subordinates are afraid to speak up.
