Pros
Horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible
Cons
Nepotsim sexism ageism runs rampant there especially in HR. You make a compliant, you will be ignored and also retaliated against.
Also when you confide in HR, they will break your promise and they will tell numerous people what u confided in them
No scruples and a lot of backstabbing with people you confide in, especially HRAdvice to Management
Stop the nepotism, favoritism snd sexism run rampant

Pros
Unfortunately, none that I can think of.
Cons
Ineffective and unsupportive middle management
Advice to Management
Examine middle management from the employee viewpoint, not HR or the managers, who are only giving you one side of the story.

Pros
Absolutely none

First, they treat their employees like they treat clients.
Unethical company by all means. Extremely micromanaged.
Supervisors would advise you to find other jobs if you don't like it there.
Senior management flirts with certain workersAdvice to Management
Get rid of all of them
