Pros
- Very predicable raise (<=3%/y) - Easy to find a parking spot in the morning
Cons
-No flexibility: Management expects everyone to be physically in the office as long as they want. If you can't do so, you are deemed useless and management will make your feel miserable. When employees try to communicate and work out a solution, management's response is "I don't know [why you can't work as long as I need]. My wife took care of that [kids]." - No upward mobility: No training is provided. When employees requested to attend training, management denied the request to save money. When executives leave, they don't promote from within, they hire from outside. Most staff have the mentality that they will be (and are happy to be) staff for life. Imagine the level of enthusiasm for work. - Dictator style leadership: Runs from top to mid-level. If you're nice, you'll be the one being yelled at. There is only communication from top to bottom, not the other way around.
