      Pros

      it's better than being unemployed

      Cons

      - Title downgrades/pay freeze/bonus cut - Redneck - Disorganized, bi-polar management - Bullying tactics - Exec staff can't use the restroom without CEO's permission - Religious nonsense forced down your throat - Morale is low - Everyone from Savvis merger is a VP or SVP - top heavy joke - Left-over Qwest managment is another big joke - all the awesome VPs took the money and ran last year - Exec staff appears to be oblivious to how miserable the employees have become - probably more of a case of they just don't care - Getting anything done, is a constant tug of war

      Pros

      work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

      Cons

      No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
