Pros

-Kind, caring, and personable President/COO that gets to know his staff -Convenient location with free parking -Pay is better than some companies -Workload is manageable -Nice people work at Sabre

Cons

-Lack of strong middle managers who are able to make decisions without a committee or just mandating their way as the only way -Do not back fill positions in corporate areas as much as they should and instead reassign duties among existing people -Pursues too much sub work and wins little to none of these; especially where they’re the prime contractor -Management empowers some people with too much power while giving none to most of the employees -No room to grow because the company is struggling to grow
