Pros

-The ability to telework

Cons

-Putting the wrong in leadership positions -No training or pipelines in place to promote growth & advancement -Top heavy leadership structure that is out of touch -HR Department seems to be only interested in preventing potential lawsuits and not caring for their employees -Office structure is undefined and allows for inappropriate relationships, retaliation and favoritism -Corporate policies are only enforced on a select amount of employees -Leadership is not held accountable for their actions and are held on a pedestal and treated like they can do no wrong -Complaints to HR are ignored and brushed under the rug. -People are promoted into leadership positions despite several HR complaints made against them by several employees -It seems that if you have integrity and ethics, you have to check those at the door

Pros

Ability to telework and create schedules.

Cons

No training, leadership and structure. The fact that we were able to telework at anytime did not make up for FTI's diffencencies.
