Pros
Independence, customers, coworkers, work from home.
Kontras
A once good company has begun using regular employee annual reviews as a way grow "business"
After the nepo-CEO took over, annual reviews became "optional".
In other words, it's their option to provide a basic annual standard cost of living increase.
Honestly... at the eleventh hour the Nepo-CEO sends out a memo stating the annual review will be postponed six months. WoW...
