Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay, overtime opportunity, good work culture (coworkers)

Cons

Management is driving us straight into bankruptcy because of their selfish, self-preservation mentality to cover their butts and point the reason for the dysfunction at everyone else. They are all weak, unqualified leaders who only got these positions because of the "boys club."

Business Outlook

Pros

The people I worked with are great.

Cons

This company cannot pay its suppliers or bills on time. The upper management is out of touch and clueless. Massive layoffs out of the blue. Cutting veteran employees of 12+ years to save their bottom line due to poor financial performance and terrible "outsourcing" decisions.
