Cons

Management does not listen, or hardly listens to people; promotions are based on how well you know people, and rarely on knowledge.
Management does not have a clue what is going on at the base of the company; they're just in a Glass Tower issuing orders;
Adding more "tasks" to the job thus altering the job description signed by the employee resulting in change of the job description, without a raise of pay, or benefits.
No option for growth/ promotion, or very difficult.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the people, because now you are not listening. We need a management that is there for us, and not against us. A management that will value any kind of comment how negative it may be.
Management should have to have people willing to work for them, and not must work for them.
