Pros
Yearly gifts and bonuses are a plus. Some fine and talented people can be found in the ranks. Location was selling point but hardly compensates for the abuse inflicted.
Kontras
The management team are selfish users. Ideas stolen. Ambition systematically extinquished. Veteran employees devour the new in something akin to the "feeding of the lions" scene from the original "Spartacus" film. Management steps aside with blind eye as new employee's are eaten alive, limbs torn from the torso, screaming for justice. Or, as an active participant in the feeding frenzy. Layers upon layers of "management" serve to insulate decision makers from employee input. As a result, decisions rarely have relevance. Innovation is considered treason in this "sick" and dysfunctional organization. The culture suffers from narcisssism and vindictiveness. The majority seem consumed with personal agendas focused upon maintaining lucrative salaries (for the area) to the detriment of the corporation's greater good. Mediocrity rules and is the standard. Professionalism takes a holiday all year long. There is no such thing as a confidential communication especially if it can be used to "incite" drama. Results are unimportant. Who you know and which group you belong to determines outcome. If you're fortunate enough to have been "born" into the business, or have won the admiration of one who has, no worries. Otherwise, It is all personal so beware what you say. The pettiness of management is only excelled by the company's arrogance in working against their employee's interests.
