Pros

Working with people who are smart, resourceful and just plain nice. Good work / life balance.

Cons

Management goals and actions did not always align, and little communication of why the change in direction. Worker bees didn't trust their management in multiple areas of the company.

Pros

Of course there are many great people, many that will undoubtedly leave when the local job market truly improves

Cons

50% of UM's are ineffective 75% of Managers/Directors are useless ( one of the best was let go, it's insane!) V.P.'s - at least one is so in over her head, spinning and spinning the same issues, making one poor decision after another, easily impressed by bright shiney objects with no idea who is really doing the work and who cares about more then their own career advancement.
