Pros

Not a toxic environment--can say it is collaborative. Overall a pleasant place to work--nobody tries to make life difficult for anyone else. Sufficient opportunities to receive new training and try out different roles. A great deal of camaraderie. Decent work hours and compensation. Steady and stable job with very few individuals ever being given both responsibility and authority.

Cons

5-10% of management team is misaligned with the overall goal of the organization. Extreme turnover in middle management due to people moving around the company and out. Diversity within management is non-existent and in spite of external promises to fix this issue--diverse individuals are mostly hired in non-core business/non-revenue generating roles to play "safe" with the most important jobs. Very fragmented, delayed and sudden communication on upcoming changes. Most individuals either have responsibility or authority--very few cases in which an individual has both.
