Pros

I am interested in playing an active role in an organization which will provide continual growth opportunities, and my experience and ability will be used to the greatest advantage. The people you work with provide techniques used on previous jobs and afford the chance to learn from others.

Cons

Work is segregated into silos and do not enter into someone's domain of activity. We need to become more team orientated in accomplishing work for the good of all.

Pros

Bare minimum - don't have many pros! Certain degree of flexibility in working, and support personal life and family !

Cons

No recognition of individual contribution, Positions are created just to support senior management in spite of being irrelevant. No support for professional growth. Less pay and pay freeze for non-managers. No job security irrespective of performance. Too much paper work on health and safety
