Pros

Interesting work Good feeling of helping people 401(k) plan is good

Cons

Senior Management do not seem to know what they are doing. If they weren't all good friends from years back they would have all fired each other by now. Almost all Senior Management came out of Allergan and those in other branches who developed successful businesses independently are psuhed out. There are too many changes of plan. Management take care of the details and don't seem to worry about the big picture. A lot of good people have left and there is a gloomy feeling that things will continue to get worse. The stock price supports that. There is WAY too much interest in business management bs and not enough focus on product and "gettn er done"
