Pros
Really depends on who you have as direct manager. Some aren't too bad, some are terrible, most are mediocre (although this might be due from pressures from their management).
Kontras
It was job, and it wasn't necessarily all bad. Most employees there (peers) are good people, all in the 'suck' together. They do operate on this small-business mindset, and the cracks are showing and they assume because this is how they've done things all along, it's fine to continue down this way. There has been some seriously egregious things happen in the org, only to have them swept under the rug because they're friends/family. -no investment in infrastructure -believes that their 'small-business' mindset is still applicable (2014 revenue is 178,000,000) -management is too flat -little accountability -does not value talent, will throw their 'weight' around at employees -questionable policies (some appear to be illegal, or conflict with fed regulations) -very apparent nepotism, to the point where they will remove employees who violate policies -appears that the owners are waiting for another company to buy them up so they can cash-in (no investment into the business and it's employees, cutting costs to increase pay out when the time comes)
