Pros

Sink or swim theory - if you can make it, you get to keep your job. Some mi-management staff were supportive, but depends on who your manager is.

Cons

- nepotism and favoritism by senior management; - rewards and bonuses not based on merit; - no work life balance; - no learning/no training on the job (you learn on your own); - management are not capable of making the RIGHT decisions; - very behind on computer systems
