The pay is only average, which would be acceptable if the opportunities to advance weren't so few in number.

Supposedly, the company encourages flexible hours with the opportunity to work from home. In practice, you will often put in over twenty hours of unpaid overtime a week, only to be told that you 'may be working hard but you're not working smart'. Upper management likewise lets mid-level management performed unchecked, and refuses to listen to any complaints of abuse or aggressive behavior.
