Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries, benefits and .... that's about it.

Cons

Where do I begin. Very few people have the fortitude to stay the course with all the internal competition and fighting for survival. Culture is antithesis of what they say they want.. People are not engaged, creative risk taking, collaborative, or transparent because they are always worried about making mistakes, failing, and ultimately getting laid off.
