Pros

Working from home 2 days per week. Fitness atmosphere

Cons

Low Morale, Never knowing when your position will be cut, Managers from other departments share your yearly review results which means people you don't work for decide how your review is scored. If someone doesn't like you, your days are numbered. It doesn't matter how well you do on your job, you will get "Inconsistent". Once you have that rating, you can't interview for another position and EVERY manager in the office knows about it. Employees are "discussed" in manager meetings once a week in front of non managers. People that suck up get promoted. The new CEO is all about outsourcing jobs instead of retaining good employees. She needs to stop and think.

Pros

I can't think of any thing good to say.

Cons

They review your performance through peer review groups. Meaning people you don't even work with review your performance. If someone in the gang don't like you your done.
