I love the people I work with. However, I feel as though the company is slowly declining and needs updating.

Pros

I work with great people within my department. Benefits are OK and my salary is average for my position.

Cons

Seems as though the company is not doing very well. It is stable, but declining. Also, the building is far from updated and rather dreary. Not an exciting place to go to every day. Also, there is not much room for advancement. Not very many young people work here. Most people are at least 40+. They need to hire young because the fresh minds are what is going to keep this company afloat.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people.Good people who will soon be replaced by yes men and women willing to mindlessly follow the company's ruthless CEO Steven Spinner.

Cons

Upper management is heartless. The term "business needs" is used to justify management decisions to the extent that it really means " because I said so".
