Pros

Flexible working conditions with a good measure of local autonomy. Good level of teamwork within departments and among groups that need to work together. Clear communications from management.

Cons

Decline in morale due to benefit reductions and irrational cuts. Greater emphasis on the bottom line than on improving services to customers and out-thinking the competition.

Paycheck..... although very sparse, it's a paycheck Flexibility with time off Jeans days If you are a manager favorite.. i.e - you suck up and give them compliments and become their but boys.... then you can do whatever you want! SERIOUSLY!
