      Pros

      Compensation package is aligned to the industry standards. Still a lot of great people are working in the company even if they are leaving at a high pace.

      Cons

      Company does not care about the employees. Most of Senior managers are only interested in their short-term incentives/bonuses.

      Cronies rule

      Pros

      Good benefits package Focus on safety

      Cons

      Almost impossible to get a promotion. Cronies are routinely brought in to fill positions instead of using far more qualified internal candidates. Bonus structure causes problems within groups and working together. Highly productive employees are often given a lower bonus if they are not "connected". Should not be based on a curve. Management is overly focused on employee compensation expense and fails to realize that skilled and happy employees save the the company far more money then unskilled new hires and irritated personnel. You get what you pay for... I don't know anyone except highly compensated cronies who aren't angry at upper management. Dramatic measures need to be made to improve morale. Even the cronies will eventually become demoralized over time.
