Pros

Pay, time off when necessary, company paid retirement, air conditioned.

Cons

typical x-theory management style. Management doesn't want to know how things are wrong and will punish you by blacklisting for life if you're seen as a "troublemaker". Just put in your time, and don't worry about making things better. you'll get further and sleep better in the long run.

The wheels on the bus...

Pros

A few good people white knuckling for things to get better, praying for Jesus to take the wheel. He isn't coming...

Cons

are falling off, falling off, falling off. Q1 2025 - long time CEO left. Things have spiraled out of control since. Spending and headcount freezes every other month and quarterly targets missed consistently. Layoffs in 2024 and not being allowed to backfill when employees fun for the hills. High performers continue to leave for the competition while managers that are causing the mass exodus remain. Culture was good under previous leadership. It's not toxic and cliquey.
