Advice to Senior Management

Keep it up!

Pros

The perks in my department were pretty good -- comp time for overtime worked; ability to work at home frequently. Company wide perks -- casual dress code year round: winter -- jeans, tennis shoes & sweatshirts; summer -- jeans, T-shirts, shorts, tennis shoes, & flip flops.

Cons

Pay is below average for same positions in this area. Only members of the "Good Ole Boys" club get promotions and can play golf and get paid for it. Promotions only go to buddies of the owners and upper management. WAY TOO many family members are hired and put in upper management positions. Owners/upper management are terrible at making intelligent business decisions.

Advice to Senior Management

If you really want to cut costs, stop laying off low paying hard workers. And start getting rid of the high paying loafers who do NOTHING productive, EVER. (TG, TC, GF, to suggest a few).
