Cons
-Heat/Cooling problems in the building. -Constant moving of work spaces. -Experience & being a permanent employee does not equate to job security -Inconsistency in work ethic and practices. -Inconsistency in pay for the same job title. -Newer employees are often promoted faster than older & more experienced employees, leaving long term loyal employees always waiting for advancement. -Absent non-proactive management: Many lazy employees promoted or moved to advancement due to exposure to a project after their superior quits rather than the employee's experience or work ethic. -Training practices have become non-existent. -Lack of HR intervention: sexist environment, male employees are open to have vulgar, perverse & inappropriate discussions on a daily basis. It is not uncommon for many long term female employees to not be promoted to lead positions over newer male employees. -Nepotism, manager's spouse quickly promoted to management over experienced candidates, relatives of company are quickly promoted to high positions.
