Pros

None I can think of in the present situation

Cons

In IT, the new CTO brings his colleagues who all got laid off from his ex-workplace due to M&A. Almost all the management positions till the Director levels are replaced with the members of his old boy's club. None of this new club members has any interest in winning the confidence of the team they are supposed to lead. Most of them don't even talk to any of their team members including managers. They are all behaving in the same fashion that their only purpose in AutoNation is to please their club leader and has zero concern on the well being of their team.

Pros

The department is work from home.

Cons

They do not provide any equipment/laptops and make you pay for your own virus protection. Extreme micromanagement leaves employees with little autonomy and creates unnecessary stress. Frequent layoffs and high turnover. Inconsistent scheduling and long hours, including recurring 10-14 hour days yet ending the week with no overtime. Employees are blamed for slow business conditions they cannot control. Unpaid on-call expectations when the work load is low. Low compensation relative to workload. Management often complains about having to answer employee questions, creating an environment where people feel discouraged from seeking guidance or clarification. Employees are treated as replaceable rather than valued contributors.
