Pros

- Great benefits, discounts and insurance - Nice big company name to include in your resume

Cons

- No promotions or raises in the last 3 years regardless of continuous high performance and goal achievement - Bonus pool is permanently underfunded but somehow, certain “favorites” will receive bonuses - Overworked (minimum work week exceeds 55 hours), highly stressed and underpaid - Hardworking and high performing individuals are discriminated against and eventually forced out or they leave because they are worked until they burn out - Management has a strong bias and double standards for their “favorites”. These “favorites” can escape with murder while others are readily crucified! - No employee recognition whatsoever; only those who are “favorites” will win recognition and promotions (despite the fact that they are incompetent and have not earned the recognition or promotion) - Office politics runs rampant but senior management is either clueless or turns a blind eye - Management team is unprofessional, disrespectful and lacks management skills, thus allowing for colleagues to be condescending and rude to each other; there are no professional courtesies or etiquette shown in the workplace - Toxic and unethical work environment with no teamwork, no knowledge sharing, no training and a workplace rife with conflict from being understaffed, extremely high staffing turnover, cut-throat competition, back-stabbing and office politics. Throwing people under the bus is common practice here - Incompetent management team who lacks industry knowledge and experience thus leading to poor management decision-making, poor client service and increased risks
