Business Outlook

Pros

Coworkers are intelligent and hard working. Compensation for similar level positions seems fair. Sometimes the right people are recognized with promotions.

Cons

Management continues to raise the bar for employee performance measurement, while not growing staff with the increasing demands on employees. Requests for help with staffing are ignored. People are overworked and under-appreciated, and obvious candidates for promotions are overlooked. Impossible to balance work and life, particularly if you are interested in spending any quality time with your family.
