Avantages
Good rank and file people to work with. The company's mid-level managers are so inept that it provides many opportunities for comic relief during the day.
Inconvénients
Senior management is oblivious to the bumbling ineffectiveness of their middle management pinheads. Corporate management is hell bent on hiring 'fresh' faces directly out of college, with the intent of molding them in their own image, only to see those fresh faces bolt after 12-24 months. Associates in any department other than sales are seen as inferior and insignificant. All departments except sales are understaffed and overworked, as well as assigned "WIGs" (wildly important goals) that are unattainable and beyond their scope of control anyway. Management sends out annual (anonymous) internal employee surveys that continuously receive negative feedback, then act surprised at the responses and call for 'team meetings' to determine what can be done to improve morale...then ignore the conclusions of those groups. They invest no money in new technology, choosing instead to prop up an extinct operating system and database.
