Pros
Co-workers are very competent and friendly. Everyone gets along very well and we genuinely enjoy working with each other. Great camaraderie.
Cons
Upper management cooks up crazy, unattainable, and flat out bad ideas and plans. When their ignorant and impossible ideas do not happen according to their schedule, they behave completely unprofessionally for a week or so, then take action against (fire) some folks who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time - usually four or so worker bees get canned per stupid idea. But this works well for management because when the fact that the schedule will be missed becomes obvious to them (everyone else knew that the Titanic had already hit the iceberg from day one -sorry Leo), they miraculously have an epiphany realizing that their original ideas were incredibly stupid. So by roasting the lucky four scapegoats at the stake, management can shift the blame onto others, and come out unscathed. Lots and lots of politics and even more CYA. To change subjects... as a non-management employee, when you hit fifty you suddenly have a target on your back. That target gets bigger each year. Any minor "personnel action" is used to can those with the biggest targets. Back room personnel "shenanigans" take place to justify the "actions". It's so sad and disgusting to see it happen over and over again. Management and Personnel's ethics are in the dirt. Ruthless.
