Cons
Compensation changes have dramatically reduced employee pay over last few years. Employee 'stars' are identified early and are rushed through the promotional process as long as they behave and agree with their boss. It seems like management has to sell their soul to stay in good graces or they get pushed out. The good managers with experience are being moved out of the way for younger 'yes sir' replacements. HR talks the talk but division leaders push a more sinister agenda - must have good legal department. Diversity is pushed so aggressively from entry level up to middle management (no higher for some reason) that reverse discrimination is demoralizing to the rest of the crew and diverse crew can get away with practically anything. Pushing new ideas or not agreeing with the status quo is a death sentence to anyone's career. Fear for future with inexperienced leaders (that look good and are politically correct) demoralizing experienced crew.
