Pros
Great coworkers to get through each struggle with, with some leaders you interact with understanding the struggle and holding on with you.
Cons
Poor, inexperienced leadership (going all the way up to the top) that makes the people doing the day-to-day work suffer Takes very long to move up internally, and leaders move up those who aren’t ready out of necessity due to higher ups biting off more they can chew. Unexpected massive layoff of employees that helped build the company up to cut costs now (i.e. employees who started when the company did, employees who started 3+ years ago) blamed on “inflation” rather than admitting fault for being too ambitious in leaderships’ goals. Setting recently moved up frontline leaders for failure with lack of proper training (assigning outdated trainings and not providing updated trainings to new and experienced frontline leaders). Quality of work declining that has not gotten addressed because, once again, the focus is on the big end goal and the external view of the company, rather than focusing on the internal to make the external better.
