simplify

Pros

The chance to work with really talented, smart, and helpful people was one of the pros. The majority of my peers really made the experience worthwhile.

Cons

The vacation time caps out at only 3 weeks after you have been employed for 5 years. Also, there are very few recognized holidays. The pay scale should be more competitive. There is no matching 401k. Upper level management does not value the lower level employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Get to know your real employees more and try to value their contribution to the company. Perhaps you should also think about how many mangers the company truly needs to be successful as it seems that there are more people that are supposed "leaders" rather than true workers.
