Broken promises (outright lies), unprofessionalism from the top

Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers were good people — still in touch with many

Cons

CYA runs rampant here. Client service quality is affected by disjointed communication between departments. People who play nice with the CEO are the only ones getting promoted, despite their background or expertise. A friend who interviewed for a Director level position received an offer with a Manager level position, completely different responsibilities. He took my advice and ran.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are many hard-working and friendly individuals that work at this company.

Cons

Lack of communication. Too much micromanaging and inefficient policies and politics. There are politics in every office but not to this extent. Favoritism. No considering for the employees and their well-being. Lack of reward and appreciation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Job security. Unless you are not performing as expected. There has been no layoff so far

Cons

Too much workload and too many tight deadline. Sometimes you can not breathe with the pressure. The company will not promote you no matter how well you perform in less than 4 or 5 years. So you have to be there long enough to get a promotion
