underpay IT staff and just view the department as a line item on an expense report that needs to approach 0.
Micromanagement is intrusive and management won't take the time to understand best practices. Refuse to upgrade security infrastructure/policy. Recommendations are given lip service and the "support" of the company comes only if you are part of the clique. Turn around is very high among non management and sales. Expect 24/7 "on call" without pay and will terminate if your "availability" (meaning willingness to answer the phone/emails) doesn't meet unwritten standards (they can't write them because they aren't legal).
