Pros

Lots of team building time (3-4 times a year), flexible benefits, decent swag handed out at regular intervals

Cons

No recognition for achieving expectations (or going beyond them), KPI goal posts moved every time they were met until team members were let go for not "keeping up", unrealistic expectations on being able to complete work without proper people resources or required materials, no respect for previous job qualifications when applying for internal jobs ("He already works for us, he has no negotiation power"), site growth and workflow scaling moves way faster than even senior leadership can handle which causes a lot of backwards work when having to re-establish or evaluate a new path forward to make up for lack of clear strategy by mangers, insanely long periods of time required in promotion "training programs" that do nothing but establish the need to work extra hours to learn future job positions and how to complete the work without oversight while still performing at the top level/percentage of other employees (again, despite having years of experience as people management).
