Unethical Management

Pros

They have to pay over market to retain people in this acidic environment

Cons

Management must have missed the Business Ethics portion of their MBA program. Product and process quality is very poor. Adherence to SAFCO culture dies hard. No training to speak of. Tribal knowledge prevails through-out this organization. Sadly, replacing higher cost , more seasoned employees with community college 'interns'. BEWARE, this is a career killer for IT Pros.
