Business Outlook

Pros

Worked with a number of very experienced and capable coworkers who knew how to work as a team. Reliable salary increases.

Cons

Unethical senior management (directors, VPs) who violated department of labor standards regarding overtime pay. Paralyzing bureaucracy making the already unrealistic program and schedule goals even more unachievable.
