Pros

Can't think of much at the moment as it continues to change and what were pluses to have gone. I guess longevity in the business is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Cons

Antiquated Programs / philosophies Lacking ethics/Micromanagers Poor Managers - advanced inept ones Harassment Gender discrimination Poor vacation package - 2 weeks only forever ( most employers offer 3 years after 5 years-not Guardian) I have personal experience with the above. Micromanager hire micromanaging managers so it's self perpetuating. Management overly concerned about impressing their managers. Too many ridiculous changes from day to day. Disorganized! Shocked to have a manager tell me a candidates gender was concerning as she was a woman. I'm an exemplary rated employee and have to try to ignore my manager to get the job done, do the right thing and stay ethical. Can't go to HR as their interests are managements- not employees. Upper Mgmt. outrageous behavior resulted in their hiring a life coach then an HR babysitter when other companies would have suspended someone for this type of behavior- so why bother going to HR about anything?!
