Pros

Pretty easy to be good at your job. Predictable work load.

Cons

Work is kind of boring and the office vibe is very stale. 5 years out is a joke in terms of the tech and lack of progressive management of their work force. It felt like I traveled back in time to the early 80's. More value given to tenure than capability and performance.

Pros

The best reasons are 10 years old and have consistently declined and make it difficult to find many Pros. The remaining long term employees are still very professional and manage to do their jobs despite the long list of negatives.

Cons

During last 5 years there have been either No annual pay increases and the couple of years with increases were 1.5 to 2 % budgets. CEO and staff have no idea what they are doing and have constantly reorganized virtually annually for last 10 years. Senior Employees are Systematically replaced with entrée level low cost workers to save money. Employees are constantly berated, bonus restricted and no merit increase because of supposed missed Revenue/Earnings and then hear how the Company beat projections. Director and above are kool aid drinkers and never challenge senior management. Strategy is virtually nonexistent and seems to change on a whim. One Director when asked what the team would be doing after a long term system conversion said We'll just have to see what we see.

Pros

My immediate co-workers are great yo work with but we are all burned out. We say we need help but it goes ignored.

Cons

Senior management too busy jockeying for position. Good ole boys club. CEO only wants yes men. Terminates people if they don't agree with him. Egomaniac wants his own private elevator and always has armed security. Waste of OUR money.
